Melon Caprese Skewers
We’ve turned our favourite appetizer into a bite sized snack that you can make, bring, serve, devour all summer long. Three kinds of melon, honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon skewered with fresh mozzarella and salty prosciutto and then drizzled with basil vinaigrette. What more could you ask for? These Melon Caprese Skewers are beyond simple!
Use a ice cream baller to form the melon balls and then you’re ready to go! Or skip the skewers and just make a really killer melon ball and mozzarella salad with a drizzle of the vinaigrette!
