Watermelon Caprese Salad

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This refreshing twist on the classic caprese salad replaces tomatoes with sweet, juicy watermelon. Basil and balsamic vinegar push this easy summer salad to the savory side, but if you want some sweeter notes, opt for balsamic glaze. An optional drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil at the end helps marry the flavors.

Ingredients:
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon best-quality balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze (see tip)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions:
  1. Stir 4 ounces mozzarella, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl. Add 4 cups watermelon and 1/4 cup basil; toss to combine. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or glaze) and 1 tablespoon olive oil (if desired).
