Ingredients

FOR THE FRUIT KABOBS

24 1-inch balls of seedless watermelon (or cubed)
24 1-inch balls of cantaloupe (or cubed)
24 slices salami , folded in half and then in half again
24 mozzarella balls (Ciliegine) , drained and patted dry

FOR THE DRESSING

3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon watermelon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons lime zest
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
a few turns of freshly ground cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

You will need 4-inch party skewers.
Assemble the skewers in this order: thread a ball of watermelon, folded salami, mozzarella ball, and cantaloupe.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Drizzle over the kabobs.
Transfer kabobs to a shallow serving bowl or plate; sprinkle with a few turns of freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with the parsley.

Notes

Recipe variations:

Swap out the cantaloupe for some honeydew melon.
Instead of salami, try prosciutto.
Use marinated mozzarella balls instead of plain ones.
Replace the lime juice with lemon juice.

To Store:

These can be made up to a day prior to serving. Longer than that and the watermelon can start to break down. Keep them covered in the refrigerator.
