These skewers offered a good variety to the other foods I made for our housewarming party. They are different than the typical appetizers I make. I don’t usually do too many cold appetizers, except for dips. But these were a good, light appetizer. And the watermelon was sweet, juicy, and perfect for summer.

Start by scooping the watermelon into balls using a melon baller. The melon ball I have has 2 different sizes. I used the smaller of the two, and it seemed to be a good size for the skewers. You will need 2 watermelon balls per skewer. Then cut your prosciutto pieces in half. Half of a slice will go on each skewer.

Next, assemble the skewers. On each skewer, add the ingredients in the following order:

  • Watermelon ball
  • Mozzarella pearl
  • Prosciutto
  • Basil leaf
  • Watermelon ball

Finally, immediately before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers.
