Festive Season - Starters Caprese & Melon Skewers

What to add to your trolley:

+/- 12 Skewers

• 1 cup Mozzarella cubes
• 1 – 1½ cups Sweet melon or Spanspek cubes 
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, whole or halved
• A handful of fresh Basil leaves
• 2 – 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 – 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• Salt & freshly ground Black Pepper
• Small wooden skewers/Toothpicks

How to Prepare the Deliciousness:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

Cut mozzarella and melon into similar-sized bite cubes. Rinse cherry tomatoes and basil leaves and pat dry.

2.  Assemble the Skewers:

On each skewer, thread:
tomato → basil leaf → mozzarella → melon

Repeat the pattern if your skewers are longer, or keep to   3 – 4 pieces per toothpick for bite-sized snacks.

3. Season & Drizzle:

Lay the skewers on a platter. Drizzle with Olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper just before serving.

4. Serve Cold:

Chill for 20 – 30 minutes if possible, then serve as a bright, refreshing starter.
