Watermelon and Tomato skewers

The other evening we were invited to our friends for a summer dinner out on their deck.

It was a hot evening.

This was the first course Ray brought to the table.

I looked at the watermelon and cherry tomatoes. . .

and wondered if I would like the combination.

I did. . very much. It was very refreshing.

I took a bite. . and then a picture.

The ingredients are so simple.

• watermelon cubes
• cherry tomatoes
• small basil leaves
• several tablespoons good quality balsamic vinegar ( the balsmaic vinegar can be reduced on the stove for several minutes with the icing sugar to slightly thicken it. . or use a balsamic cream)
• confectioners or icing sugar
• a drizzle of olive oil

1. Simply cube your watermelon and put onto a skewer alternating with cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.
2. In a small bowl. . combine the balsamic vinegar . . and a teaspoon of icing sugar to sweeten it slightly.
3. Drizzle over the skewers. . and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Thanks Ray.
