Assemble the skewers by alternating the mozzarella, melon, and cherry tomatoes

Season with a little salt, a little pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Storage

Store the skewers in the refrigerator, sealed in an airtight container, for a maximum of 24 hours. It is recommended to season them with oil and salt only immediately before serving to preserve their freshness.

The cost of this preparation is affordable thanks to the use of simple, seasonal ingredients. The overall expense is accessible for most household budgets
