Whatever season we may be in fruits are always refreshing to enjoy. To me the melon varieties are the most refreshing. Here I have used small cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. Kids can cut them out by themselves with a little help from the elders. Its a fun project to do and makes a great salad for parties.
