Fruit Salad as Art

I made this with one of the last of the “good” watermelons available this season.

Interestingly, there’s not much different between carving a watermelon then there is carving linoleum or wood. I’ve been working on ways to make more “attractive” displays, and this was one of my first attempts.

The salad is made up of watermelon pieces, strawberry slices, blackberries, Maine blueberries, chiffonade of lemon peel, a small bit of orange juice, and fresh mint leaves. The mint left a great flavor and I was pretty pleased with the outcome.
