Our caprese skewers with mozzarella- and melon balls, fresh basil leaves and a wonderful herb vinaigrette are a quick and light finger food. They are perfect as a starter or party snack and can also be spiced up with cherry tomatoes or prosciutto.
Ingredients for the skewers
- 20 balls of mini-mozzarella
- 1/2 small water melon
- 1/2 small musk melon
- 1/2 bunch of basil
Ingredients for the vinaigrette
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 bunch of basil
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of pepper
Preparation
Using a melon baller, form ten balls from the water melon and the musk melon. Pluck larger basil leaves from the bunch.
Alternately thread the mozzarella balls, a few basil leaves and the melon balls onto short bamboo or wooden skewers.
For the vinaigrette, finely chop a clove of garlic and pluck the basil leaves. Mix together with the remaining ingredients in a tall container using a blender.
Arrange the skewers on a plate and drizzle with some vinaigrette.
