Shark Fruit Salad

Shark Fruit Salad

For our brother's high school graduation party this summer we needed a fruit salad, but wanted a way to make it fun and exciting.  We found this idea on Pinterest and decided to give it a try!

Ingredients

1 large, oblong watermelon

2 blueberries

Assorted fruits

1. Cut off 1/3 of the watermelon on a diagonal line to form the base so that the watermelon can sit flat on a plate.

2. Use a dry erase marker to determine where the mouth will be.  When satisfied, cut along this line.

3. Dry a straight line about 1/2 inch away from where you cut.  Cut in diagonal lines to form the teeth.

4. Using a sharp paring knife, peel the watermelon skin from the teeth, leaving the white underneath.

5. Pierce 2 blueberries with toothpicks and place them to form the eyes.

6. Cut the part that was removed to form the mouth into a triangular shape and attach to the back of the watermelon with toothpicks.

7. Cut up and combine the assorted fruit together in a separate bowl.  We used blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, and pineapple.

8. Put the mixed fruit in the shark's mouth.
9. Top off with some Swedish Fish for humor :P

This was super easy to make and looked awesome!  A great way to serve fruit salad in an original and exciting way!
