Watermelon Fruit Bowl
A watermelon fruit bowl is the purest taste of summer—cool, juicy, and bursting with color. Chilled watermelon, berries, pineapple and grapes fill a carved watermelon bowl, making it a refreshing, hydrating, and visually stunning centerpiece for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 large seedless watermelon
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- 1 cup halved strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup chopped kiwi
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Place the watermelon on a stable cutting board and slice it in half horizontally. Choose the flatter half to act as your bowl.
- With a melon baller or large spoon, scoop out the inner flesh of the watermelon, removing as much as possible and transferring the pieces into a large bowl.
- Cut the scooped-out watermelon into bite-sized chunks and discard any excess juice if necessary.
- In the large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, diced pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and kiwi.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine. This adds tangy brightness and helps preserve color.
- Pat the inside of the watermelon shell dry with paper towels to prevent the fruit mix from getting soggy.
- Spoon the fruit mixture back into the hollowed-out watermelon bowl.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.
- Serve chilled with a large spoon for scooping.
