Watermelon Fruit Salad
Print This Recipe
This fruit salad is all about the presentation and will be a favorite with your family and friends for its color and festive appearance. It is surprisingly simple to do as long as you have some time to chop fruit {a step that can be done ahead of time}. I like using Dulcinea watermelons because they are the perfect size for family dinners and smaller parties. Simply scoop out the watermelon flesh with a melon baller and mound an assortment of fruit chunks into the watermelon “bowls.”
