Carbs are getting a bad reputation, but I still make sure my family gets enough fruit and vegetables in their diet. This is a great substitute for a piece of cake, cookies or muffins and a lot healthier too. Feel free to mix and match fruits on this platter. The cool cream cheese and yogurt based dip goes well with just about any fruit.

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ripe golden pineapple
1 medium cantaloupe
1 small watermelon
1 honeydew melon
1 pint strawberries

Steps:

  • Lop green top off pineapple and place on a cutting board. Slice covering off in strips from the top down. Remove hard pineapple core with a fruit corer or simply by slicing ripe part away from the core. Cut pineapple into wedges. Remove seeds from cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew and cut ripe part of melon into half moon shapes, or into spheres with a "melon baller," or into any shape you like. Arrange fruit on a platter and garnish with whole strawberries. Can be served with fruit dipping sauce such as yogurt or honey based dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh fruits: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful it will be. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: The more variety you have on your platter, the more visually appealing and delicious it will be. Choose fruits with different colors, textures, and flavors.
  • Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and more appealing to guests.
  • Arrange the fruits creatively: Use your creativity to arrange the fruits in a visually appealing way. You can create patterns, shapes, or even use toothpicks to hold the fruits together.
  • Add some extras: You can add some extra flavor and texture to your platter by adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or herbs. You can also drizzle the platter with a honey-lime dressing or a balsamic glaze.

Conclusion:

A tropical fruit platter is a refreshing and healthy snack or dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a platter that is both beautiful and delicious.
