In Italy, it's very common to eat melon in savory ways in the summertime - the pop of sweet from watermelon and honeydew paired with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, salt and olive oil is everything I love about summer food in Italy.
Ingredients
- Half of a large ripe watermelon, cut into 1” squares
- Half of a large ripe honeydew melon, cut into 1” squares
- 2/3 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, such as sungold, halved
- 6 to 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1” inch squares
- ¼ cup basil, chopped fine, for topping
- Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
On a large flat platter, assemble the salad by alternating pieces of watermelon, honeydew, cherry tomato and mozzarella in a row. Continue to place them on a platter in an alternating fashion, creating a mosaic-style pattern.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil, and drizzle with olive oil and serve.
