Cantaloupe, fresh mozzarella, basil, and prosciutto stacked on skewers with a balsamic drizzle — a 5-ingredient, no-cook bite at 63 calories each.
These Melon Caprese Skewers are one of the easiest recipes you can make in under 30 minutes. It’s a fun twist on the classic caprese, substituting the tomato with cantaloupe, for a fresh and juicy bite. Serve this as an appetizer or add it as a side to any meal. Each skewer comes in at 63 calories, and the sweet melon against the salty prosciutto is what keeps a platter of these disappearing. At 24 skewers per batch, they’re built for sharing.

Drain the Ciliegine then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper.
3 Assemble the skewers
Add a melon ball, basil leaf, about half of a prosciutto slice, and a mozzarella ball onto a skewer. Assemble the remaining skewers.

Drizzle olive oil and the balsamic glaze on top. Finish with a sprinkle of salt. Enjoy!
Notes & Tips
- This is best eaten within the same day, but it can keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- Drizzle on the balsamic glaze just before serving.
- For a classic tomato caprese, you can substitute the cantaloupe with cherry tomatoes.
