Watermelon Caprese

A refreshing twist on the classic, this dish pairs juicy watermelon with creamy mozzarella, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet and savory summer salad.

Ingredients

  • 5 baby beetroots (optional)
  • 10mL vinegar
  • 1/4 seedless watermelon, sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 That’s Amore Buffalo Mozzarella
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Trim the tops off beetroots, leaving 4cm of the stem. Wash and dry.

Step 2

In a large pot add water, vinegar, and salt. Add beetroots and bring water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.

Step 3

Cook beetroots until fork tender, about 30 mins. Peel once cooled and slice.

Step 4

Place the watermelon slices on paper towels and cover with additional paper towels to absorb the excess juice.

Step 5

On a serving dish, alternate slices of buffalo mozzarella and watermelon. Place beetroots in the middle.

Step 6

Add fresh basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Step 7

If you prefer a simpler watermelon and mozzarella salad, leave out the beetroot.
