How to Make Watermelon Caprese With Balsamic Glaze
Who said that caprese salads have to be made with just tomatoes? Traditionally, a caprese recipe is tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. It is typically topped with a balsamic glaze or olive oil. However, Watermelon Caprese is just that! Except, we are substituting the tomato for watermelon!

INGREDIENTS
12 slices watermelon cut into rounds or squares approximately 3 inches wide and ½ inch thick*
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
½ pound fresh mozzarella cheese cut into 12 slices (we used skim)
Dash salt and pepper
¼ cup fresh basil leaves loosely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Basil for garnish
RECIPE DIRECTIONS
1. Place the watermelon slices on paper towels and cover with additional paper towels to absorb some of the excess fluid.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the vinegar and honey. Stir to blend, bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Stirring occasionally until the mixture has reduced by almost half. (Do not let reduce to far or to froth). Set aside to cool slightly.
3. On a large platter, place the watermelon slices and top each with a slice of cheese. Salt and pepper, then sprinkle the basil leaves evenly over the top. Drizzle with the olive oil followed by the reduced balsamic vinegar. Garnish with basil.
