It's a baby shower fruit salad by Paty Torres: A feast of fruit inside a watermelon carved to look like a bassinet. Remember that you can always add your own spin on it.
Ingredients:
Watermelon
Suggestions: Pineapple, mango, papaya, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, honeydew, etc.
Instructions:
Start by carving out the watermelon. Even if you want a slightly different look for your basket, this has some essential tips that will save you a lot of grief if you follow them.
Chop fruit. Chop all the watermelon you got and other fruit you'd like into bite-sized pieces. Keep in mind, a salad will look better and be easier to eat if you can keep all the pieces around the same size.
Make the face. Cut a grapefruit or large orange in half and then peel. Cut the fruit to add to the salad if you want. Nestle the rind into one end of the basket and attach a berry for each eye and a strawberry or raspberry for the nose or mouth using toothpicks. Add a new, clean pacifier where the mouth should be.
Add the wheels. You can use cross-slices of oranges and kiwi fruit used as wheels.
