Preparation Instructions

If you have a melon baller, scoop out balls of melon. If you do not have a melon baller, cut off the skin and cut into smaller chunks.

Cut the fresh mozzarella into a size that is similar to your melon. Tear the basil into pieces. Toss the cheese, fruit & basil with a splash of lemon juice, olive oil, salt and fresh black pepper.

Sample. Adjust and add flavors as desired.
