I made a fruit salad for a Memorial Day cookout and I added a little something extra. I liked it so much, I had my husband help me make it again so that I could take pictures for you! This version would be perfect to take as a Fourth of July side dish. After all, it incorporates stars and red and blue fruit. So perfect!
First, get some star shaped cookie cutters.
Look at how cute the star-shaped fruit is! My husband is even cuter peeping out from behind his slice of watermelon! I cut stars out of all sizes and each one worked just fine. I can see this being fun using other simple shapes as well, like hearts or flowers.
I kept to my red and blue color scheme here but you could of course use whatever fruits are in season.

i love this idea, making it tomorrow for a memorial day cook-out!
Brilliant idea – I’m going to use this for dessert for a casino theme party – but with hearts and diamond shapes, and with a dollop of whipped cream and gold edible glitter on top. Thanks so much for your idea!
Michelle, what a wonderful idea! We’d love to see a photo if you want to add one to our Flickr group.
