Light, refreshing prosciutto melon skewers are elevated in extra flavor from pesto, balsamic glaze and mozzarella - it's the prefect healthy appetizer!
Skewer a toothpick with mozzarella, then prosciutto, then cantaloupe.
Repeat, placing each skewer on a serving plate as you go. It will fill 2 plates or a large platter, depending on how much you space them out.
Once all skewers are complete, spoon a small amount of pesto onto each skewer.
Top with a small amount of balsamic glaze (the squirt bottle on store bought glaze makes this really easy but a spoon can be used as well).
Sprinkle fresh cracked pepper and salt over the top of the skewers and serve immediately.
Notes
You can sub pearl mozzarella with ciliegine mozzarella, cutting each into 6 pieces.
To make your own balsamic glaze: Heat 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 3 Tbsp. sugar (white, brown or coconut) in a small pan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve sugar while bringing to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until vinegar has reduced by about half. Remove glaze from stove, let sit for 1-2 minutes, then spoon over prepared skewers.
Skewers can be made up to two hours ahead of time and topped with pesto and balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper right before serving. Put them standing up in a sealing container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
