How To Make These Cucumber Mozzarella Watermelon Appetizer Bites

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

1-2 slices of watermelon
1 large English cucumber
20 mini mozzarella balls
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. Cut the watermelon and cucumber into 20 evenly sized chunks — about 1-inch cubes work best so they match the size of the mozzarella balls.

3. Pat the cubed watermelon and cucumber dry with a paper towel as well.

4. Thread a piece of watermelon onto each toothpick.

5. Next, add one cucumber cube next to each watermelon piece.

6. Finish the skewers with one mozzarella ball.

7. Arrange the skewers on a serving plate and drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze.

8. Serve chilled (up to 1 hour) or immediately at room temperature.

Important Recipe Notes

Peel the cucumbers if you like, or leave the skin on for some extra color and crunch.
You can mix up the order of the cubes on the skewers or even double up the ingredients if you’re using longer ones.
Don’t skip the balsamic glaze – it takes the flavor to the next level!
You can add fresh mint leaves between the layers for even more refreshing flavors.
