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.

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!
