Watermelon & Tomato

I have always wanted an excuse to make these tomato, watermelon and basil skewers that I saw on an episode of a Giada De Laurentiis show and then again in her book New Italian Favorites.

Today I had a seedless watermelon, grape tomatoes and basil olive oil. (By the way, I don't mind cheaper eevo for everyday use, but I LOVE basil olive oil. I use it in everything! If you're a big olive oil user, this is something you should definitely try.)



Close enough for me, I decided to make a salad. I also had some fresh mozzarella in the fridge and stopped and got some rosemary focaccia and balsamic vinegar from my local favorite Firestone's Market on Market.



Oh this was sooo good! A sort of, take on caprese salad. The bread was delicious too, especially when dipped in the leftover vinegar, olive oil and watermelon/tomato juices. (A second piece was required.)

The perfect end to dinner was the Raspberries in Dark Chocolate Bar. They sell them for like a dollar and I can never walk into that shop without buying one.
