Ingredients
Ingredients for Christmas Wreath Fruit Salad
- Green grapes (about 2 cups)
- Red grapes (about 2 cups)
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced (2-3 kiwis)
- Strawberries, hulled and sliced (1-2 cups)
- Pineapple, chopped into bite-sized pieces (1 cup)
- Blueberries (optional, for garnish)

Tip: Use Christmas Grapes for a holiday twist. These red and green grapes are perfect for creating a wreath-like effect.
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash and prepare all your fruits. Slice the kiwi and strawberries, chop the pineapple, and hull the grapes.
- Create the wreath base: On a large round platter or serving tray, arrange the green grapes in a circle, forming the base of your wreath. This will be the foundation for your fruit salad.
- Fill in with other fruits: Begin layering the other fruits on top of the grape circle. Alternate between red grapes, kiwi slices, strawberries, and pineapple.
- Add finishing touches: Sprinkle a handful of blueberries and pomegranate seeds around the wreath for added color and texture. Place a few mint leaves around the wreath for a pop of green.
- Serve and enjoy: Once everything is beautifully arranged, serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm fruit: Choose fresh and ripe fruit, but ensure they aren’t too soft for a neat, stable wreath.
- Large platter recommended: Use a large platter or tray for more surface area to create a perfect wreath.
- Make ahead: Prepare the fruit ahead of time, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Assemble the wreath just before serving.
- Creative garnishes: Try adding edible flowers, like red or white pansies, for a stunning holiday touch.
