Why I love making this Rainbow Fruit Tray
- Fun way to present your fruit.
- Great for Saint Patrick’s Day, Unicorn, or Rainbow Themed Parties.
- The kids love it and eat more fruits.
Most years I have a Saint Patrick’s Day for friends and family. I have made this rainbow fruit tray a few times but finally perfected it. The first time I tried making it a combination of fruits and vegetables which of course you can do. But I finally got the layers I like along with the marshmallow on the end.
Ingredients Needed for this Fun Rainbow Fruit Platter
| 🌈Strawberries– Washed and sliced in half. 🌈Oranges/Clementines- peeled and in pieces. 🌈Pineapple Chunks- I prefer fresh but canned works just fine. 🌈Green Grapes- Rinse and take off of the stem. 🌈Blueberries- Washed 🌈 Purple Grapes-Rinse and take the grapes off of the stem. 🌈Marshmallows– Big or small for some clouds on the side! |
Selecting the right fruits for your rainbow tray
I am sure you all check your fruit before purchasing for any soft spots, discoloration, mold, etc. So that is the first step. And of course you can customize with other fruit that you see fit. There are other colored fruits that could be swapped for some of the layers of the rainbow.
Red: For the red you could also use raspberries, watermelon chunks, or even red apple slices.
Orange: You can use cantaloupe pieces, clementines, peaches, or even mango.
Yellow: You could use Opal apple slices, banana slices, or pieces of pears.
Green: Some other green fruits that could work would be kiwi, green pears, or green apple slices.
Blue: Here I used blueberries but you definitely could use blackberries or concord grapes.
Purple (violet): This layer I chose to role with some purple grapes but you could use pomegranate arils, blackberries, or even plums!
