# Method:
01 - Wash all fruits thoroughly. Peel melons and cut into half-moon slices for scales. Slice kiwifruits and strawberries. Shape watermelon into one large oval for the body and a smaller oval for the head.
02 - Arrange watermelon ovals on a large serving tray, curving gently to create a serpentine dragon body and head.
03 - Layer cantaloupe, honeydew melon slices, grapes, and kiwifruit slices overlapping along the watermelon to mimic scales.
04 - Use blackberries or large blueberries to form eyes, securing with toothpicks if necessary. Place blueberries or grapes for nostrils and additional facial details.
05 - Incorporate pineapple slices, carrot sticks, or strawberries as spikes, horns, or flames. Add mint leaves for a leafy effect.
06 - Fill empty spaces with extra grapes, berries, and edible flowers for visual appeal.
07 - Refrigerate until ready to serve. Provide toothpicks or small forks alongside for easy eating.
