I love serving this salad at Easter parties, spring picnics and for the kids play dates in the spring. 

It's great because it's healthy, hydrating and so refreshing in the warmer months. We simply love watermelon in our house. Its also a wonderfully versatile snack! 

Watermelon is amazing because you can cut it into so many fun shapes, sizes or cubes.

You dont even need a lot of skills for this, just a good ol’ fashioned cookie cutter can get the job done. 

My toddler helped me make this salad. She was so thrilled to have bunny & flower shaped watermelon! 

While she cut out the little shapes she sang the whole time “fruit salad, yummy, yummy!”
