# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Using a sharp knife or round cookie cutters, slice melons into even, circular 1/4-inch rounds. Use different-sized cutters if desired to create smaller circles for layering.
02 - On a large serving platter, arrange the largest melon circles in a single layer, alternating melon types for visual contrast.
03 - Layer smaller melon circles atop larger ones, forming concentric rings and varying melon varieties to enhance the presentation.
04 - Generously scatter strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries over and between the melon layers.
05 - Add fresh mint leaves and sprinkle lime zest over the top, if using, to brighten flavors and presentation.
06 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
