  • Chop up the watermelon flesh that was removed from the rind.

  • Put the watermelon and fruit mixture back inside the watermelon rind.
  • To make the optional dressing, whisk together lemon juice and maple syrup, then combine with the fruit before transferring into the watermelon rind.

Notes

  • While the recipe calls for fresh fruit, you can easily use canned fruit instead.
  • I like the fruit just plain, but you can toss with dressing (see above) if desired.
  • You can cut watermelon lengthwise or slice across.
  • To help your fruit bowl sit flat, slice a portion off the bottom to make it level.
  • Feel free to use a melon baller instead of chopping up the watermelon.
  • There are 0 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints on one serving of this.
