watermelon caprese skewers with honey mint vinaigrette
A pretty little skewer to eat, then shank your enemies with.
Ingredients
- 4 cups watemelon balls or cubes (about 1 medium-sized melon)
- 2 cups mini mozzarella balls
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- flaky salt, to serve
honey mint vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- To make the vinaigrette, whisk or shake in a bowl or jar the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, mint, oregano, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- In a small bowl, toss the mozzarella balls with 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing.
- Alternate threading the watermelon balls, mozzarella, and tomatoes on each skewer. I leave about 1 1/2-2 inches of space on either end. Set the skewer on a platter and repeat until you use up all of your components. You will get 16-20 skewers.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette all over the skewers. Top with fresh basil and flaky salt, as desired.
