Red White Blue Fruit Salad (Printer-Friendly Version)

A colorful fruit medley featuring star-cut pears, watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries for summer.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 ripe pears

02 - 1/4 small seedless watermelon

03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries

04 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

05 - 1/2 fresh lemon

01 - Slice pears into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces and use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out small stars.

02 - Squeeze lemon juice over the pear stars and gently toss to coat evenly, preventing discoloration.

03 - Slice the watermelon into 1/4-inch thick slices and use the same star-shaped cutter to create watermelon stars.

04 - Hull the strawberries and quarter each berry; combine them with the blueberries in a large mixing bowl.

05 - Gently fold the pear stars and watermelon stars into the berry mixture to maintain shape and texture.

06 - Serve the assembled fruit immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.

01 - Use fresh fruits for best texture; frozen fruit may release excess water and dilute flavor.

02 - Alternative white fruit options include white nectarines or white peaches.

03 - To add zest, drizzle with a mixture of lime juice, orange juice, and honey before serving.
