I made these yesterday for an elegant tailgate, and the combination of the watermelon, feta, herbs, and drizzle just really worked. The toothpicks I had were smaller, so the watermelon chunks were about 3/4″, and I think I would do that again, since we were able to eat the entire thing in one bite. At first, I wondered if it was overkill buying both basil and mint, but I would do so again. The flavors balanced each other. I couldn’t find the Pomegranate Molasses, so I made a balsamic reduction and drizzled that instead. The only thing I found a little difficult was getting them all to stand up. It could be that by making the chunks a little smaller, it made them less sturdy. But I would definitely make these again!
Great balance!
