Recipe Notes
For this recipe, a 6 oz. package of BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Snacking Cheese was used but an 8 oz package of BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Pearls would also work.
You can substitute cherry tomatoes or a strawberry for the watermelon.
Exact amount of watermelon needed will depend upon the size of your scoop or baller and the size of your seedless watermelon.
