Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized Watermelon
• 1 medium-sized Cantaloupe
• 1 medium-sized Honeydew melon
• 0.5 cup Blueberries
• 1 cup Strawberries
• 0.5 cup Black grapes
• 2 pieces Kiwi
• 1 cup Mandarin oranges (canned or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon into 1-inch thick slices. Use a teddy bear-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from each type of melon.

Step 3

Peel the kiwi and slice them into thin rounds. If the slices are too large, cut them into half-moons.

Step 4

Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 5

Combine the blueberries, black grapes, mandarin oranges, sliced strawberries, and kiwi in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and honey to create a light fruit dressing. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the mixed fruits in the bowl and gently toss to coat.

Step 7

Arrange the teddy bear-shaped melon pieces on a large serving platter to form a playful design. You can overlap the bears slightly for a fun look.

Step 8

Spoon the mixed fruits around and between the teddy bear shapes, filling in the gaps on the platter.

Step 9

Garnish the fruit salad with a few fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and freshness, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
