Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound green grapes
4 large kiwis, peeled and sliced
4 fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced
½ cup pomegranate seeds
½ fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced
6 dried dates

Steps:

  • Create an outline of a tree shape using the grapes on a cutting board or serving platter. Begin at the top point of the tree and fan the grapes out into a triangular pattern. Create 3 triangular sections, each slightly larger than the last. Fill in each section with kiwi slices.
  • Arrange sliced strawberries across the tree shape to create a garland effect. Add pomegranate seeds randomly all over the arranged fruit to look like ornaments.
  • Place pineapple slices onto a cutting board. Use small cookie cutters to cut out a star shape and some several small ornament shapes. Place the star at the top of the tree shape, and decorate the rest of the tree with the pineapple ornaments.
  • Arrange dates at the bottom of the tree to look like a trunk. Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
