A fresh, modern twist on a classic Caprese. Sweet watermelon, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil are finished with a delicate drizzle of basil olive oil and watermelon balsamic, creating a vibrant and refreshing dish perfect for warm-weather dining.
Ingredients
4 thick triangular slices of ripe watermelon
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into rounds
Fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp basil-infused olive oil
1–2 tbsp watermelon balsamic
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
Slice the watermelon into thick triangles, removing the rind. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, and set aside. Slice your mozzarella into quarter-inch thick slices, and set aside. Wash and dry your basil, and pinch off individual leaves of basil, making sure to keep them whole.
On a serving plate or board, layer the fresh-cut watermelon, followed by slices of mozzarella, and top each stack with a fresh basil leaf. Repeat until all pieces are assembled.
Lightly drizzle Redstone Basil-Infused Olive Oil and Redstone Watermelon Balsamic over the assembled Caprese.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with additional basil leaves and serve immediately.
