Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 pineapple, cut into triangles
  • 2 cups strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup green grapes
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 kiwi, sliced
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Garnish

  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruits: Wash and cut all the fruits as directed—pineapple into triangles, strawberries halved, banana and kiwi sliced—to make them easy to layer on the platter.
  2. Form the tree base: Start by placing the pineapple triangles at the bottom of your serving platter to create the tree trunk.
  3. Create the branches: Arrange the halved strawberries above the pineapple in a triangular shape to mimic the branches of a Christmas tree.
  4. Add grape ornaments: Scatter the green grapes evenly across the strawberry layer to resemble festive ornaments.
  5. Decorate with blueberries: Sprinkle blueberries throughout the branches to add pops of color and visual interest.
  6. Add banana and kiwi slices: Place slices of banana and kiwi interspersed among the other fruits to add more texture and depth to the tree design.
  7. Add pomegranate seeds: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the entire arrangement to give it a bright, festive color accent.
  8. Garnish with mint: Finish by adding fresh mint leaves on and around the tree for a refreshing touch and extra greenery.

Notes

  • Use a flat serving platter or tray for easy assembly and display.
  • Choose ripe and firm fruits for the best texture and flavor.
  • Mint leaves not only garnish but also add a fresh aroma.
  • Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
