Happy 4th

This cute little salad was my contribution to the big family 4th of July get-together. It was a bit time consuming, but not too bad. And the kids LOVED it! Something about fruit on a stick. I should try this more often.

To make it, just hollow out the inside of a honeydew and water melon with a melon baller. I used a cookie cutter to make the stars and found it works best on the water melon--the seeds in the middle of the cantelop make it tricky.

Then add grapes and strawberries. Mix it all up and fill the "bowls". Add a few kabobs, scatter the remaining fruit around the platter and, voila!!
