Karl’s Floral Nectar-Infused Fruit Salad

INGREDIENTS

1 mini seedless watermelon

1 mini cantaloupe

1 mini honeydew melon

lemon honey dressing (make by vigorously whisking together the following: juice from 1 lemon, 3 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp white balsamic vinegar)

You will also need some 1 ½-inch and 2 ½-inch flower cookie cutters. I used a few from this Wilton cookie-cutter pack.

Makes approx. 8 small bowls of fruit salad 

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim the heels from each melon. Slice your melons into disks that are approx. 1/2-inch thick. Use your cookie cutters to cut out flower shapes. I recommend cutting most of the large shapes from the watermelon since you don’t have to avoid a central cluster of seeds like you would for most of your cantaloupe and honeydew slices. However, you may be able to get some large pieces out of your first few cantaloupe/honeydew slices since the seed cluster doesn’t show up right away.

Place the melon pieces in a very large bowl. Drizzle on the dressing just before serving. Gently toss to combine.
