Homemade Dairy-Free Feta, Watermelon, and Blueberry Skewers

Dairy-Free Feta, Watermelon, and Blueberry Skewers are the perfect snack to celebrate the Fourth of July. These little patriotic skewers are super simple to put together, but your guests will be amazed, especially if you tell them you made vegan feta completely from scratch.

This vegan feta is probably the best you’ve ever tried. It’s creamy, crumbly, salty, tangy, and very cheesy. It’s also very simple and cheap to prepare, and you can use it in so many ways! This cheese is delicious on salads, in wraps, in tacos, on sandwiches, or simply as a snack.

Want to make these skewers even simpler?

• Use store-bought vegan feta if you forgot to prepare the recipe ahead of time
• Or use marinated tofu cubes
• If you are not keeping the red-white-blue theme, you can put anything else on your skewers as well. Try raspberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, fresh basil leaves, olives, or capers

Want your skewers to be healthier?

• A great oil-free alternative for this feta cheese is marinated tofu (we like a simple marinade of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs)
• Instead of skewers serve the feta, watermelon, and blueberry combo as a salad, over mixed greens, or in a lettuce cup
• Play around with more red-white-blue options. Try strawberries, cherry tomatoes, raspberries, apples, beetroot, daikon, cauliflower, kalamata olives, purple sweet potatoes, blackberries, or grapes

Want to make this really unforgettable for your guests?

• Prepare your cheese a few days ahead and let it age in the fridge before serving
• You can also marinate your vegan feta with olive oil and fresh herbs for extra flavor
• For a fun look, make long skewers instead of short ones

Prep time: 5 min
Hardening time: 4-8 hours
