Give the classic Caprese a summer makeover by swapping in juicy melon alongside the usual players. Sweet cantaloupe, bright cherry tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella create a play of textures, while balsamic glaze and torn basil tie it all together with sweet-tangy depth. It is a showstopping side for a backyard gathering, refreshing enough for the hottest days and pretty enough to impress guests.
