Cooking Games: Making Fruit Salad Bowls


Fruit salad is delicious and nutritious, but there is no reason why fruit salad can’t be fun as well. Making fruit salad is as simple as cutting up your favorite kinds of fruit and mixing them together. But why not make the containers for your fruit salad just as interesting as the dish itself?

When making a large bowl of fruit salad, start with a watermelon. Cut away two “corners” of the melon to leave a handle in the center and a high bowl. Use a melon ball scoop to start removing the red in lovely little melon balls. Store them in a separate container for now. When you’ve created melon balls enough to empty the watermelon rind “bowl” scrape out any residue.

Create melon balls of honey dew melon and cantaloupe as well. Mix in blueberries and a few strawberries before carefully pouring all of the mix back into the “bowl” of watermelon. Tie a fun ribbon on the handle and you’re ready to serve. The concoction is a fun centerpiece and it’s also delicious.
