Recipe Intro From lisathompson
Serve up a platter of this refreshing (and adorable) watermelon for your guests this summer! Use an assortment of mini cookie cutters or the back of a large piping tip to punch out shapes in slices of juicy watermelon, melon, and dragon fruit, then mix and match by shape and color. You can serve as-is, or you can kick it up a notch with fresh lime juice, chili salt, and sprigs of mint for a dish that's perfect for a summer appetizer or dessert! I love this unique yellow watermelon (which tastes exactly the same as it's red counterpart), but if you can't find it feel free to swap with the classic. Tip: after cutting out shapes, you can cut the remaining fruit off the rind and freeze it for summery smoothies!
