Melon & Mozzarella Skewers are the most delicious summer appetizer!
With pesto-coated mozzarella, prosciutto, honeydew melon and fresh basil, they’re a refreshing starter to any summer gathering.
The most unique thing about these skewers is the citrusy vinaigrette that is drizzled overtop. Made from Kiwano melons, a unique find from the Fresh Discovery section of Heinen’s Produce Department, it’s an element that you don’t want to skip when making this recipe for yourself!
