Fresh Watermelon Mozzarella Salad

What better way to celebrate watermelon season with a stunning watermelon salad. It's plated beautifully and topped with mozzarella, watercress, basil, flaky sea salt and lime juice and surrounded by balsamic glaze, olive oil and pine nuts. This could serve 2 as an entree and would be delicious with grilled or roasted chicken OR you can serve as a side salad and split the slabs in ½ half. Either way, you have an impressive salad that tastes like summer times and good times.

Instructions

  • Cut an 8 oz mozzarella ball into 10 slices. Cut 1 lime into ¼ quarters. Set aside.
