Watermelon Mozzarella Sandwich
8 slices seedless watermelon (4 x 6 x ½ “ thick)
2 cups homemade* or homemade style, bread and butter pickles (sandwich stackers)
(*A lot of farmers’ markets have vendors with these as well as gourmet supermarkets)
2 cups chopped fresh basil leaf
16 ¼ ” thick slices fresh mozzarella cheese
Divide the bread and butter pickles in an even layer over 4 of the slices of watermelon. Sprinkle the basil leaf
over the pickles. Place an even layer of cheese over the basil using four slices per sandwich. Place a remaining slice of watermelon atop each sandwich.
Using two decorative picks each, secure the sandwiches together such that you can cut them diagonally into 2
pieces. Serve sandwiches with corn chips or over greens as “fork sandwiches.”
Serves 4.
