I love anything and everything Sprouted Kitchen makes. Sara’s recipes are not overly difficult and the taste is always amazing! She has a beautiful blog and two lovely Sprouted Kitchen cookbooks so she never leaves you lacking for inspiration. Sara and her husband Hugh team up and make all the magic that Sprouted Kitchen is. Sara is the creative genius behind the tastes and recipes and Hugh styles and photographs her creations.

INSTRUCTIONS FROM SPROUTED KITCHEN

In a small mixing bowl, combine the shallot, oregano, half of the mint, vinegar, oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Give it all a stir. Crumble in the feta and give it another stir, a few chunks are ok.

Shave the cucumbers into strands with a vegetable peeler, lengthwise. Assemble them on the skewer by putting a cube of watermelon, folding a slice of cucumber like an accordion, and then another cube of watermelon on top. Arrange them on your serving tray and drizzle the feta vinaigrette over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh mint, a grind of fresh pepper and serve. Viola, Sprouted Kitchen Skewers!
