Ingredients
  

1 ripe cantaloupe

1 ripe honeydew melon

8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Wooden skewers (6-8 inches long)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Melons: Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew into 1-inch cubes. Remove any seeds from the cantaloupe and discard. Aim for similar-sized pieces for even skewering.

    Create the Skewers: Take a wooden skewer and thread one melon cube (cantaloupe) onto it, followed by a folded slice of prosciutto. Next, add a mozzarella ball, followed by another melon cube (honeydew). Repeat the pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at the end for handling.

      Season: Once you’ve assembled the skewers, place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.

        Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Lightly drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers for added sweetness and tanginess.

          Finish with Fresh Mint: Garnish each skewer with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

            Serve: Enjoy these delightful skewers as a refreshing appetizer or as part of a summer picnic spread.
