Servings: 20
Calories: 90kcal
Equipment
- bamboo or metal skewers
Ingredients
- 1 watermelon, preferably seedless
- 2 pints blueberries
- 20 bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Slice the watermelon into 1 inch round slices, and then cut out star shapes using a three-inch star-shaped cookie cutter.
- Gently slide the blueberries on wooden skewers and finally place a watermelon star on the top. Or add blueberries and watermelon stars in whatever order you prefer!
- Serve the skewers or place them in a tall glass or in decorated floral foam as an edible centerpiece.
Notes
- Assemble with Care. When assembling the skewers, be gentle while threading the fruits onto the skewers to avoid crushing the blueberries or damaging the delicate watermelon shapes.
- Use seedless watermelon. This helps you not have to dig out seeds and risk messing up the star shapes you cut out.
- Any red, white and blue fruit will work. So if you’re in the mood for raspberries, strawberries or even some bananas or apples, add them to these fruit kabobs for the perfect red, white and blue healthy treat!
