Tips
- For an extra touch, lightly toast the feta cubes in a dry pan for a minute or two before assembling the skewers to give them a slightly firmer texture and a subtle nutty flavor.
- These skewers are best served immediately for optimal freshness and texture, but can be assembled a few hours in advance and kept chilled. Add the honey and mint just before serving.
