🛒 INGREDIENTS 🛒
Spicy Grapefruit & Wine Marinade
¼ cup red grapefruit juice
¼ cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Melon, Halloumi & Brussel Skewers
4 cups watermelon, 1-inch cubes
4 cups honeydew, 1-inch cubes
2 cups cantaloupe, 1-inch cubes
1 cup jicama, 1-inch cubes
2 roma tomatoes, quartered
8 ounces Halloumi, 1-inch cubes
½ cup basil leaves
½ cup Brussels sprout leaves
🍢 INSTRUCTIONS 🍢
Whisk together ¼ cup grapefruit juice, ¼ vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon pepper flakes.
Set aside.
Add 1-inch cubes of the following - 4 cups watermelon, 4 cups honeydew, 2 cups cantaloupe, and 1 cup jicama - to a container with the Spicy Grapefruit & Wine Marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring once or twice.
Assemble the skewers with the melons and jicama, and cubes of 2 tomatoes, 8 ounces of Halloumi cheese, and the fresh leaves from ½ cup basil, and ½ cup Brussels sprouts, alternating between the ingredients.
Use the grill of your choice - I used my indoor Le Creuset - which I LOVE. I brushed it with some olive oil before warming the pan.
Grill the skewers on one side for about 5 minutes. Flip them over and grill for another 5 minutes. So you are just grilling 2 sides.
You may have to adjust grilling time to get a good sear. I suggested experimenting with 1 skewer to start.
Enjoy with a canned SIP certified wine!

I like salt on my warermelon, and i also set up a melon cubes and pineapple chunks on small skewers with shakers of a hot pepper seasoning blend, tajin, and fancy Himalayan sea salt (hot, medium and mild options) to let people season their iwn skewer to taste. It was a hit at a very hot 4th of July cookout!
