Fancy Watermelon Sticks

The end of summer is upon us and I thought I would add a fun and easy appetizer for you to try.  We attended a birthday of our friend Sean last weekend and everyone was asked to bring a dish to the event.  I wanted something light and fresh. This is what I came up with!

Grilled Mozzarella Bites with Raspberry Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

watermelon, sliced 1 inch thick wedges

olive oil

salt and pepper

wooden skewers or tooth picks

fresh mozzarella

arugula

fresh basil leaves

store-bought raspberry vinaigrette (i used Renees dressing)

Brush watermelon wedges with olive oil and season with s and p. 

Grill both sides over medium-high heat until grill marks form.

Slice the flesh into 1 inch squares and slide each square onto a skewer with a ball of mozza, an arugula leaf, and a basil leaf.  Drizzle with raspberry vinaigrette!  

Loved this recipe! easy and sooo perfect for a summer appy!
