DIY Patriotic Flag Fruit Salad

I make this tasty little Patriotic Flag Fruit Salad every 4th of July for my family! My kids love it – the guest always love it’s festive look and I love that it takes only minutes to make! The best part is you can versify this dish as much as you want. I use strawberries, apples and blueberries – however if you would like you could use watermelon or raspberries in place of the strawberries or banana’s instead of apples! So tasty!

Ingredients

• 1 pint Strawberries
• 1 granny smith apple
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 TBSP lime juice
• 1 small square container (to hold the shape for your blueberries)
• 1 small rectangle platter

Directions

1. Take your rectangle platter and set your square container in the top left hand corner.
2. Slice your apple into thin slivers and remove the peel.
3. Cut the leafy tops off your strawberries.
4. Begin building your flag. Strawberries first, then evenly lay out a line of apples, strawberries and repeat. Make sure as you are building your flag you keep the square container in the top left hand corner to maintain the square shape.
5. Removing the square container and pour blueberries into the space.
6. Finish off with a drizzle of lime juice over apples and cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
