Fruit Salad in Watermelon Bowl

Yum
This is the last of my summer dishes before I dive into all the fall dishes I am excited to show you.  I made this fruit salad simply because I bought a mini watermelon that I thought was so cute. Looking at the watermelon, I decided also that it would make the perfect bowl.  I used the Good Cook melon baller, zester and juicers to make a quick and party ready fruit bowl.  You can add any fruit into the fruit salad as you wish... the watermelon is a must if you want to display it as the bowl.


Ingredients:
Small seedless watermelon
Pineapple
grapes
cantaloupe
**Any fruit you desire

 Dressing:
Juice of lemon
Zest of lemon
agave or honey (if desired)
mint (optional) Recommended Good Cook tool:                                             Citrus Zester   
                                                     Citrus Reamer
                                                      Melon Baller


Directions:
Cut a base for your watermelon bowl. Cut watermelon so you have a large bowl shape. Then use melon baller to scoop out watermelon.
Add all fruits into separate bowl and mix with dressing. Place back into watermelon.  Serve immediately or chill. Enjoy.

    I am pretty excited about Fall, BUT this is an adorable summer dish! I will be bookmarking for that inevitable moment next March/April when I am sick of winter and want fruit (because I am never happy lol). :D

    You should have shared the process of cutting the bowl and dressing it. I have to know because it will be my first thing to try in the kitchen. Thanks anyways for giving me the idea.

      Fin, To cut the bowl: 1: Wash the watermelon completely. 2. Cut a small bit off the bottom to create a base (pictured above in a photo). 3. Cut off the top 1/3 of watermelon to create the bowl. Use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh of watermelon until you have an empty bowl shape. 3. Fill with fruit. To create the skewers, just alternate the cut fruit on a wooden skewer and place inside the bowl. Hope that helps.
