Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 tiny baby basil leaves
- 8 bamboo skewers
- Kosher salt
Directions
Cut top and bottom off the watermelon to level it. Sit it upright and cut away the rind. Cut into 1-inch cubes, reserve.
Bring a small pot of water to boil. Have a small bowl of ice water on the side. Carefully drop the cherry tomatoes into the water. Allow to cook for 10 seconds. Put in the ice water. Carefully peel away the skin and cut into halves (note: the tomatoes do not have to be peeled.)
Whisk together the vinegar and oil.
Place a tomato half on top of each watermelon cube with the flat side facing up. Poke a bamboo skewer through the top all the way down to secure the 2 items. Line up the skewers on a serving tray.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the skewered tomato and watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and place a micro basil leaf on top. Serve.

This recipe was really good and so easy to make. The balsamic vinegar and olive oil really bring out the flavors! It's a great ''amuse bouche'' for any dinner party!

This easy snack was amazing. I made this for a Mother's Day dinner party and it was sooo good. Everyone was a little skeptical at first but once they tried it they loved it too.It was so fresh and juicy. Perfect spring/summer treat. It was a big success and I will definately make this again.

These are super simple and the flavor combinaton is suprisingly perfect! I had planned on trying these out and trashing them if we didnt like them but they were the first thing to disappear at the party! A real hit with my guests!
