INGREDENT

  • 1 medium watermelon (halved and scooped for the shell)
  • 1 cup cantaloupe, balled or diced
  • 1 cup honeydew melon, balled or diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon Shell:

  2. Assemble the Fruit Medley:
    In a large bowl, combine the balled watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, mango, strawberries, and blueberries.
  3. Add Citrus Glaze (optional):
    In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey. Drizzle over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat.
  4. Serve in Style:
    Spoon the fruit mixture back into the hollowed watermelon shell.
  5. Garnish and Chill:
    Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
