If you ever thought a summer salad couldn’t be both refreshing and satisfying, the Watermelon Caprese is here to change your mind! This delightful twist on the classic Caprese salad combines the juicy sweetness of watermelon with creamy mozzarella, creating a perfect balance that’s ideal for those warm days. Who knew that just a small watermelon, some fresh mozzarella, and a sprinkle of basil could come together to create such a vibrant dish? The technique is surprisingly simple. By cutting the watermelon into thick squares, you create a beautiful canvas that pairs wonderfully with the mozzarella's rich texture. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a touch of balsamic glaze, and you’ve got a dish that celebrates summer in every bite. With just a few easy steps, you’ll have a stunning Watermelon Caprese that not only looks impressive but also tastes like a sunny afternoon. So grab your ingredients and let’s savor the flavors of summer!

Watermelon Caprese

Ingredients

  • 1 petite watermelon, diced into 1/2"-thick cubes (approximately 3" x 3")
  • 1 ball of mozzarella, cut into 1/2"-thick pieces
  • 2 tablespoons of finely sliced fresh basil
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction, for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1

To start, grab a large platter and lay it out on your counter. Slice the watermelon into thick rounds, about half an inch thick, and then cut each round into wedges or triangles, depending on your preference. Next, take your fresh mozzarella and slice it into similar-sized pieces, aiming for about half an inch thick as well. Now, it’s time to build your masterpiece! Begin by placing a slice of watermelon on the platter, followed by a slice of mozzarella. Alternate between the two, creating a beautiful pattern that catches the eye. Once you have arranged all your watermelon and mozzarella slices, sprinkle fresh basil leaves generously over the top. Finally, season the dish with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper to bring out those delicious flavors. Enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh scents as you prepare to serve!

Step 2

Now it’s time to add a touch of flavor with some oil and balsamic glaze. Start by drizzling about 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over your beautifully arranged watermelon and mozzarella. This will add a lovely richness that complements the freshness of the ingredients. Next, grab your balsamic glaze — you can either buy it or make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens. Drizzle a generous amount over the top, aiming for an even distribution. The sweet and tangy notes of the glaze will really elevate the whole dish. Take a moment to admire how the glistening oil and glaze coat the watermelon and cheese, making it all look so inviting!

My Tip

For your Watermelon Caprese, try chilling the watermelon squares in the fridge for about 30 minutes before assembling. This enhances the refreshing taste and makes each bite even more delightful, especially on a warm day. Enjoy that cool contrast with the creamy mozzarella!

Leftovers

To store leftover Watermelon Caprese, place the watermelon and mozzarella in a shallow container with a lid to prevent moisture buildup. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, serve them cold—no reheating needed, as the fresh flavors shine best when chilled!

Make It Your Own

For a refreshing twist, swap the mozzarella with creamy burrata for an even richer texture and flavor. You’ll love how the soft center adds a delightful creaminess to the sweet watermelon and basil!

Chimichurri Grilled Chicken Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Total: 165 mins | Serves: ['4', '4 servings'] | Cuisine: American I still remember the first time I tasted Chimichurri Grilled Chicken at a summer barbecue. The moment I took a bite, I was blown away by the juicy, smoky flavors dancing on my palate, thanks to the zesty chimichurri sauce. The blend of fresh Italian parsley and cilantro in that vibrant green sauce brought an unexpected brightness that perfectly complemented the marinated chicken. What really caught my attention was the Greek yogurt marinade, which made the chicken incredibly tender while adding a subtle tanginess. The garlic, oregano, and just a hint of crushed red pepper in the chimichurri created a flavor profile that was both robust and refreshing.
