WATERMELON CAPRESE APPETIZER



Watermelon Caprese Appetizer image

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.

TOMATO, WATERMELON, AND BASIL SKEWERS



Tomato, Watermelon, and Basil Skewers image

Everyone seems to love this simple combination of clean, fresh flavors. If watermelon is not in season you can substitute cantaloupe, but for a burst of pure flavor that really plays off the herbal flavor of the tomatoes, you can't beat watermelon. Stacking the skewers vertically and serving them upright looks especially elegant.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 4- to 5-pound seedless watermelon
60 small basil leaves (or torn larger leaves)
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse or kosher salt
Special equipment: 16 (6-inch) wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Cut the top and bottom off the watermelon, then make 4 straight cuts down the sides so you have a cube of rindless watermelon. Cut the cube into 1 1/2-inch slices, then cut the slices into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Assemble the skewers by pushing a basil leaf to the end of one skewer. Then skewer a cube of watermelon, then a tomato half. Continue with another watermelon cube, basil leaf, and tomato half, ending with a basil leaf. Repeat to make 15 more skewers.
  • Drizzle the skewers with the reserved balsamic syrup and the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Serve.

  • Whisk together the vinegar and oil.
  • Place a tomato half on top of each watermelon cube with the flat side facing up. Poke a bamboo skewer through the top all the way down to secure the 2 items. Line up the skewers on a serving tray.
