Watermelon Mozzarella Skewers
These easy watermelon and mozzarella skewers are the ultimate no-cook summer appetizer. Made with just five ingredients, they’re light, refreshing, and perfect for pool parties, picnics, or your next dinner party.
Equipment
- 4-6 inch skewers
Ingredients
- 2 cups Watermelon cut into ~1-inch cubes, about 24 pieces
- 12 ciliegine mozzarella balls or one large mozzarella ball cut into 12 bite-sized cubes
- 12 small fresh basil leaves
- flaky sea salt such as Maldon, to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze for drizzling before serving
Instructions
- Cube the watermelon and drain the mozzarella balls if needed.
- On each skewer or toothpick, layer one cube of watermelon, one basil leaf, one mozzarella ball, and end with another cube of watermelon.
- Arrange on a platter.
- Right before serving, drizzle with balsamic glaze and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt
Notes
- Use ciliegine mozzarella balls for the perfect size, or cut a large mozzarella ball into cubes.
- Do not prep the basil leaves ahead—they can bruise or turn black in the fridge.
- Wait to drizzle the balsamic glaze and sprinkle sea salt until just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing, hydrating appetizer on hot summer days.
