Brochettes of Melon, Prosciutto, and Fresh Mozzarella image

This recipe is based on a Bon Appetit recipe found on Epicurious.com. I made a few changes on size and presentation and I got "WOWs" from everyone at my luncheon! If you want the original version, just go to Epicurious under the same recipe title.
