Watermelon Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze | No Thanks to Cake
This recipe is perfect for any summertime event. The combination of watermelon, tomatoes, and mozzarella are a crowd favorite, made slightly savory by the addition of basil and balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
- 8 watermelon balls
- 8 grape tomatoes, any color
- 1 small pkg. basil leaves
- 8 bite-sized mozzarella balls
- salt and pepper
- balsamic glaze, for drizzle
Instructions
- Use a watermelon baller to create the watermelon balls for this recipe.
- Once you have your watermelon balls created, it's time to assemble. You'll need a skewer, long toothpick, or other mechanism to thread your skewers.
- Add your watermelon first, then thread your basil leaf capturing only one end of the leaf. Next add a mozzarella ball, then thread the other end of your leaf. Finally, add a grape tomato. Set aside and repeat until all skewers have been filled. Note; I used yellow grape tomatoes to create a color contrast, but you could easily use red if you prefer.
- Sprinkly lightly with salt and pepper and place in the refrigerator (covered) until it's time to serve.
- Right before you serve the skewers, drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze.
