Red, White and Blueberry Fruit Salad

July 1, 2019 by Amber 3 Comments

Red, White and Blueberry Fruit Salad is a patriotic side dish made with fresh watermelon, strawberry, blueberries, dragon fruit and star-shaped apple bites with a simple honey lime dressing. 

I cannot believe it is July already! Happy July 1st and I am hoping everyone has a great holiday weekend. We usually spend the holiday with neighbors to set up fireworks and grill out, then find a spot in the yard to watch the big firework show that happens just down the street from us at dark. A grill out necessity is always a big fruit salad!

Red, White and Blueberry Fruit Salad

This Red, White and Blueberry Fruit Salad was inspired by the 4th of July approaching with the vibrant red strawberries, plump blueberries, white dragon fruit melon balls and the star shaped apples. Watermelon is added because the fruit is just so delicious during the summer and adds the perfect sweetness. The honey lime dressing adds a great zesty note and happens to work beautifully on any fruit salad you may toss together in the future. 

How to Use a Melon Baller 

While you can simply chop the watermelon and dragon fruit into cubes, using a Melon Baller is a fun way to add some shapes to your fruit salad. 

Follow these instructions to use a melon baller : Use a Melon Baller.

Getting Star Shapes

Getting star shapes is super easy! You just need to slice your apple through the core and a Star-shaped Cookie Cutter. Use a small star (2-3 inch) and cut the stars around the core of the apple.

    I know it sounds strange but I’ve never ever eaten dragon fruit. What does it taste like?
