PROSCIUTTO MELON SKEWERS WITH BASIL PESTO

I found a recipe similar to this browsing through Instagram. Check out the original by clicking here. These Prosciutto Melon Skewers with Basil Pesto is by far one of the most refreshing salads/sides for the summer! If you are as big of a fan of sweet and salty, as I am, you are going to love, love, love! There is absolutely no cooking involved. Just put together…you can make your own pesto if you want…I decided to use one of my favorites from Delallo Foods! UPDATE: I won Delallo’s weekly recipe contest for these skewers. They sent me a huge box of goodies from their store.

I have found that this recipe will make about 12 to 15 skewers. Take a melon baller and create balls out of both the watermelon and cantaloupe. Grab a skewer and first place a piece of prosciutto…I like to kind of fold mine. Add a cantaloupe ball, then a fresh basil leaf, then end with a mozzarella ball. Continue up the skewer doing this three times for large skewers and once for small skewers. I alternated the watermelon and cantaloupe balls.

Once all skewers are finished, place on platter…season with kosher salt and pepper. Drizzle with pesto. ENJOY immediately, or chill for a few minutes! Refrigerate leftovers and serve the next day…the flavor just gets better!

I served these Prosciutto Melon Skewers with Basil Pesto with my Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken. Made for a fabulous outdoor barbecue and dining experience.

LET’S GET SOCIAL!

I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him!

Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!
