Watermelon And Mozzarella Salad With Basil Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

When it comes to a caprese salad, you may think the combination of juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze can't be beatenbut think again. Replacing the tomato with refreshing watermelon creates an unexpected twist that is sweet and tangy at the same time. The crunchy texture of the watermelon is a nice counterpoint to the soft cheese, and the basil adds an herby spiciness while rich balsamic syrup brings out the best flavors of both the watermelon and the mozzarella. This salad is very simple to put together with a minute's notice, making it a great dish for dinner parties or as a refreshing party appetizer.
