Watermelon Caprese Salad combines sweet watermelon with tangy balsamic . The mozzarella and salt adds a nice contrast while the basil adds freshness .  This salad is what summer dreams are made of !

 Combining all of these flavors is just pure happiness. Obviously if you are not team salt on watermelon just skip the salt . This is a very touchy subject for some people but I just adore salt on my watermelon. The salt really enhances the sweetness of the melon.  Even though fresh basil is easily bought at the supermarket , I grow it in the summer just for caprese salads. Check out my classic Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze if you love fresh basil.

Frequently asked Questions :

• Can I make this ahead of time ? You can add everything but the balsamic glaze and salt , I recommend adding it right before serving .
• I can’t find the mozzarella pearls , what else can I use ?  Fresh Mozzarella cut into small chunks but only use fresh mozzarella
• Where can I find Fresh mozzarella ? This cheese is usually found in the deli of the supermarkets with other specialty Italian cheeses
• Do I have to use a seedless watermelon? You don’t have to but it will make the salad more pleasant to eat if you don’t have to pick out the seeds.
