Can I assemble these ahead?

Honestly? Not really. The melon starts weeping after about 2 hours. My hack? Prep everything separately (cubed melon in one container, feta in another) and assemble right before serving. Takes just 5 minutes!

What if I don't have balsamic glaze?

Simmer ¼ cup balsamic vinegar on low until it reduces to a syrupy tablespoon - voilà, homemade glaze! But the bottled stuff keeps forever in your pantry (my secret weapon for instant fancy).

Basil's my go-to swap for mint - its peppery sweetness works shockingly well. For a bold twist, try tiny rosemary sprigs (just one per skewer - it's potent!).

Can I use different cheese?

Halloumi is amazing grilled first, and goat cheese crumbles work in a pinch (though they won't stay on the skewer as neatly).
