Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small seedless watermelon or 1/2 of a large watermelon
- 8 apples optionally reserve 1 for making stars
- 1/2 yellow honeydew melon
- 4 cups strawberries (stems removed)
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup blackberries
- lemon juice (for soaking apples, 1 tablespoon per 1 cup of water)
Instructions
- Wash all fruits and allow them to dry.
- Cut the watermelon, apples, and honeydew melon into small squares. Cut strawberries into halves or quarters based on size. For freshest results, soak sliced apples in a lemon juice and water mixture for at least 10 minutes if not serving immediately.
- Start layering the fruit: place blueberries and blackberries to the top left as a start then alternate layers of red, white, red, white, and red fruits until the dish is filled to your preference.
- Use a star cookie cutter to cut 1 apple into stars and place them on top of blueberries to complete the flag design.
Notes
Soaking apples in lemon juice helps prevent browning.
Feel free to adjust the quantities of the fruits based on preference or availability.
This salad is very adaptable; try adding or substituting fruits like bananas or peaches.
