Calories: 572kcal
Ingredients
- 1 mini seedless watermelon, cubed
- 12 ounces ciliegine (mini mozzarella balls)
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 5 ounces prosciutto, chopped
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the balsamic glaze to a large bowl and toss to combine.
- If watermelon was not pre-chilled before cutting, place salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Before serving, drizzle on balsamic glaze and garnish with whole basil leaves, if desired.
Notes
- Don't make this dish more than a couple of hours in advance of serving, and wait until right before you serve it to drizzle on the balsamic glaze.
- That being said, if your watermelon isn't already chilled before cutting into it, you will want to leave a little bit of time for refrigeration after prepping and before serving.
- To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the prosciutto.
