A sweet salad

Time to gear up for our 4th Of July Picnic!

Saw this really sweet little salad that I just had to try...I'm showing it to early so you can make one too!

The first thing you need is to grab a REALLY big knife (and hum the Psycho music to yourself) then approach the watermelon.  (Or you could play this:  HERE if you want to be really authentic)



Slice it up into REALLY thin slices.



Now get a star cookie cutter.  (Your slices can't be thicker than the cookie cutter or you will have a tough time getting a clean star.)





Make a lot of them.  Cut up the UN-star part of the watermelon to add to your salad too.  (Make sure you treat those little scraps politely- we don't want them to know they are not as beautiful as their fancy STAR sisters....)





Now, get yourself some blueberries...



And toss it all together!

You and this salad will be the STARS of the 4th of July picnic!




And if you have any energy left over - how cute would this be as a drink garnish?
