Ingredients

  • ΒΌ watermelon chopped (approximately 4 cups)
  • 1 pound strawberries
  • 1 dragon fruit
  • 1 pint blueberries

Instructions

  1. Arrange approximately 3 cups of chopped watermelon in a single layer in a large serving dish. Scatter the remaining watermelon on top.
  2. Use a paring knife to remove the strawberry stem and leaves. Cut the strawberries in half so that they look like hearts. Arrange most of it around the perimeter of the serving dish on top of the watermelon so that the dish is rimmed with strawberry hearts. Scatter the remaining strawberry halves on top of the watermelon.
  3. Cut the dragon fruit in half lengthwise and then cut again into quarters lengthwise. Hold the peel on both ends and remove the peel, chop the white flesh into bite sized cubes. Scatter on top of the watermelon and strawberries.
  4. Carefully scatter half of the blueberries over the top of the fruit salad, give the serving dish a gentle shake, and add the remaining blueberries as space allows.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight box and enjoy within 24 hours or freeze for smoothies.
