My dad used to make this for every bbq we had at our house and i just loved it so much that i now do it for my own! Its easy and fun and so refreshing. Try using an oval shaped bowl to get that long water melon look instead of the round.

    NOTES: This can be made up to a week in advance if wrapped tight and frozen. When ready to serve allow to thaw at room temp for about 10 min. You can also add a layer of lemon or pineapple sherbet or sorbet in between the green and red to add the whitish layer that is in an actual watermelon. You can add morsels after slicing, to each piece individually if you prefer Make it a cantelope! Use orange sherbet instead of the strawberry..
