Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 4 cups cantaloupe cubed
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls or sliced
For the Garnish
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting the cantaloupe in half and removing the seeds. Use a melon baller or knife to cube the flesh into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice the fresh mozzarella into rounds or keep them as balls if using bocconcini.
  3. In a large serving bowl or platter, arrange the cantaloupe and mozzarella slices in an alternating pattern.
  4. Tuck the fresh basil leaves between the cantaloupe and mozzarella to add color and flavor.
  5. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the arranged salad for added sweetness and tang.
  6. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
