Instructions

Wash all fruit and let them dry.
Cut watermelon, apples, and honeydew melon into small squares. Slice strawberries to your preference: halves, quarters, or tops removed.
Soak sliced apples in lemon juice and water mixture for at least 10 minutes if not serving immediately, using 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for every cup of water.
Arrange blueberries and blackberries at the top left of your serving dish as a starting point.
Layer remaining fruits in a repeating red, white, and blue pattern until the dish is full or all fruits are used.
Use a star cookie cutter to cut shapes from one apple and place them atop the blue fruit layer to finish decorating the salad.
