A refreshing appetizer for the summer, my family loved this so much they ate more than a serving each. Also great for those who love the flavor of caprese but aren’t huge fans of tomatoes.

- 1 small watermelon, fruit removed with a melon baller
- 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small pieces

Directions
Step 1
Trim basil leaves into small circles about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 2
Thread watermelon and mozzarella cheese on toothpicks, sandwiching a basil leaf in between. Arrange on a serving plate.
Step 3
Pour olive oil and balsamic vinegar over toothpicks. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on top.

We loved this! My mom gave me some cubed watermelon, so I just used that and I also opted to use balsamic glaze b/c I had some on hand from another recipe. The flavors were great! This is a definite keeper for the summer~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Liked it. Refreshing. I used feta cubes. Next time would ensure feta bigger so it did not flake off the tooth pick.

This recipe is amazing, first thing to go at any summer get together. We love basil so we use bigger basil leaves and fold them in half, set between the mozzarella and watermelon. You gotta try this!

Nice twist on the traditional caprese appetizer that is made with cherry tomatoes. The watermelon adds a nice pop of freshness, and it really does pair well with the mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar. I did use a balsamic glaze that I had on hand, which really adds a nice sweetness. Thanks for the recipe!

Everyone loved it. Great new take an old favorite for a summer BBQ.

This was very good and refreshing! And for a non-tomato eater I was finally able to enjoy a caprese appetizer. 🙂

Light and refreshing. Salt is a must. I may try this with a slice of jalape?o as well

I?d thicken the balsamic vinegar…maybe a reduction would be nice, so when I squirted it on finished skewers, it might make a defined line instead of draining off.

This is a company favorite and a nice twist on the original. To try another twist, substitute mint leaves for the basil. It is outstanding.
