Watermelon Appetizer

002Watermelon Appetizer

Can you tell watermelon is in season?  Eating locally means extra recipes using the same ingredients and I have watermelon to use up!  Luckily, watermelon makes a great appetizer to offer guests and this recipe cuts the sweetness with a bit of savory.

Watermelon Appetizer

Watermelons do not ripen after being picked so choose carefully.  First, look for a yellowish spot where the melon has sat in the soil, if it’s a regular melon (versus seedless).  Thump it and you should hear a dull thud not a hollow sound.  Look for smooth rinds that aren’t too shiny or dull.

Watermelon Appetizer Ingredients:

  • Prosciutto
  • Cubed watermelon
  • Basil leaves
  • Skewers
  • Lime wedges

Watermelon Appetizer Directions:

  1. Cut slices of prosciutto lengthwise.
  2. Pierce one end of a piece of prosciutto onto the skewer.  Add one cube of watermelon followed by one piece of basil.  Wrap/weave prosciutto over watermelon and basil threading the prosciutto onto the skewer.
  3. Add another cube of watermelon followed by another piece of basil.  Wrap/weave prosciutto over watermelon and basil threading the prosciutto onto the skewer.
  4. Repeat to create multiple skewers.  Arrange skewers on serving tray.
  5. Squeeze with lime wedges.
  6. Serve.

    I am on a kosher diet. Which means no pork , shellfish, no mixing dairy with meat. Can your recipes be modified to work alongside with my dietary restrictions. To let you know my kosher restrictions are first in my mind and I will not deter from being kosher

      Hi Karen,
      Any of the recipes with no pork, shellfish or dairy would be acceptable. Recipes with dairy and meat, you could use a non-dairy substitute. In this recipe I’d recommend either turkey bacon, duck prosciutto or Bresaola. A pinch of smoked sea salt might be helpful if you choose turkey bacon.

      Best of luck!
