Carved Watermelon- C

For the French Club picnic, I decided to try to make a snack that was refreshing and healthy, since I knew a lot of the other food would be junk food and it would be very hot outside. The first search result for 'creative fruit salad' was a carved watermelon, which was perfect since we had just bought three! I added other fruits to make it brighter, and used a mini scoop to take out the watermelon meat. I decided to make it pretty simple because I was afraid of messing up, but I added some decoration around the outside as well. The end result was an adorable dish to take to the picnic and a bunch of leftover watermelon which I used to make 'agua de sandia,' a typical Nicaraguan drink, for later (1 hour). I love the idea and I'll probably use this in the future as a healthy and energizing contribution!
