Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash your cantaloupe or honeydew melon thoroughly. Slice the melon in half and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes.

  3. Place the assembled skewers on a platter, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Before serving, drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the skewers for extra flavor.
  5. Serve the skewers on a platter, garnished with extra basil leaves.
