Put your melon baller to good use with this colorful Tropical Fruit Platter.

A round tray filled with colorful, neatly arranged fruit bites including green grapes, kiwi, dragon fruit, yellow melon, cantaloupe, and watermelon.

Featuring mango, melon, grapes, dragonfruit, and kiwi, it makes a refreshing snack and easily serves a crowd.

You can also arrange the melon balls randomly, which gives the platter an entirely different look:

Recipe Tip

For another fun way to serve melon balls, slide them onto skewers with basil or add them to drinks and punch bowls.

Ingredients

Instructions

Use the melon baller to hull the fruit. For the most part, the melon balls won’t actually be balls, but more flat on one side. Just place this side down.
Arrange the fruit randomly or in a gradient. Both examples are shown here.

Notes

There will be lots of leftover fruit, so save these bits in a freezer bag to use in your next smoothie, or chop them up and make a mini fruit salad.
