DIY Watermelon Sharks

This Summer Fruit Watermelon Salad Comes Shaped Like a Shark

If you're looking for an interesting way to serve up your summer fruit salad, this shark watermelon is a great way to impress guests at a party. Expertly carved to look like a sharp-tooth shark, this watermelon looks deliciously fierce.

To make this watermelon shark, you need to have a little bit of skill with a knife. You can begin to create the shark design by cutting away a triangular slit in the side of the watermelon. With a smaller knife you can add nifty details like carving away the green peel to create white shark teeth, a cherry as an eye and a watermelon fin. Once the shark is complete, you can stuff the shark's mouth with a traditional watermelon summer fruit salad and have fun eating from a shark's mouth.
