Spring is in full swing and we’re slowly heading towards summer.
And that means barbecues, get-togethers, sunshine, and lots of yummy food.
Every year, I count down the days until spring and summer hits. If we’re being honest, fall is my favorite season (hello, pumpkin everything), but the two previous seasons are just a smidge behind. Since I live in Chicago, I’m done with winter right after the holidays, so you can bet that I’ve got warm weather on my mind.
And since spring (and the nice temps) is finally upon us, I’m dreaming of lots of light and delicious food and drinks.
After all, creating recipes is my job and I love putting my skills to good use. Especially with tasty ingredients.

After loading my cart with SANPELLEGRINO® Momenti Pomegranate & Blackcurrant and checking out online, I dreamt about whipping up an easy treat to complement this new beverage.
Prosciutto Melon Bites are a simple, sweet and salty appetizer that’s perfect for any time. Salty prosciutto and sweet melon are paired with fresh mozzarella and basil to create a match made in food heaven. Easy to make and ready in no time, everyone will love these tasty bites!
If you’ve never had prosciutto and melon together before, then you’re in for a real treat.
Sweet and salty is my jam, and if it’s your thing, too, then you’ll fall in love with these prosciutto melon skewers. With fresh flavors from the salty prosciutto, sweet melon and a hint of tang from the basil, your tastebuds will explode with happiness.
And like most of my recipes, these prosciutto and melon bites are a breeze to whip. But, you knew that was coming, right?
Simply cut a fresh cantaloupe into cubes and then push onto the end of a toothpick. Add some fresh prosciutto, a mozzarella ball, and a basil leaf. That’s it! If you want to get all fancy, you can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze, too. Repeat with the rest of ingredients until your Prosciutto Melon Bites are assembled.
Some tips for making these Melon Prosciutto Bites:
- Cut a fresh cantaloupe in half and then slice and cut cubes from each half. Alternatively, you could use a melon baller to cut balls from the cantaloupe.
- For extra ease, use the pre-sliced, cubed cantaloupe that most grocery stores carry in their fruit section. That way, no cutting or slicing is required.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of prosciutto, if needed. If you love prosciutto, add an extra slice to the skewer.
- Don’t forget the basil! Fresh basil leaves not only provide a pop of color, but also pair well with the sweet and saltiness from these bites.
- Want to get a little fancy? Drizzle some balsamic glaze (either store-bought or homemade) over these bites right before serving.
How to serve these Prosciutto Melon Bites:
- Layer onto a platter and drizzle with a touch of balsamic glaze, if desired.
- Refrigerate until ready to enjoy and then serve these for your next party, get-together, or just as a fun spring or summer appetizer for you and your family.
Easy peasy and oh-so delicious, friends!
Pair this alongside your favorite SANPELLEGRINO® Momenti and enjoy those lighter and brighter moments anytime!
