Print Recipe

A stunning fruit platter arranged in a wreath shape, perfect for holiday gatherings. It comes together in under 20 minutes with simple ingredients and a tangy honey-lime dip.

Ingredients

  • Green grapes, 2 cups (about 300g)
  • Strawberries, 1 pound (450g)
  • Kiwi, 3 large
  • Pomegranate seeds, ½ cup (about 85g)
  • Fresh mint leaves, ¼ cup (about 10-12 leaves)
  • Blueberries, ½ cup (75g) (optional)
  • Star fruit, 1 large (optional)
  • Honey, ¼ cup (85g)
  • Fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons (30ml)
  • Lime zest, 1 teaspoon
  • Greek yogurt, ½ cup (120g)
  • Vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the dip: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Slice the fruit: Hull the strawberries and cut them in half lengthwise. Peel the kiwis and slice into thin rounds (about ¼-inch thick), then cut each round in half. If using star fruit, slice into thin star shapes. Keep green grapes in small clusters.
  4. Arrange the base layer: Place a serving bowl or ramekin in the center of a large round platter. Arrange green grape clusters in a ring around the bowl, leaving about 2 inches of space between the bowl and the grapes. Overlap clusters slightly so no platter shows through.
  5. Add the strawberry ‘berries’: Place strawberry halves, cut-side down, in a ring just inside the grapes, pointing toward the center. Tuck extra strawberries between grape clusters for pops of red.
  6. Create the holly leaves: Place halved kiwi slices in small groups of 2-3 around the wreath, mimicking holly leaves, with the green skin side facing outward.
  7. Sprinkle the jewels: Scatter pomegranate seeds over the entire wreath, focusing on gaps between larger fruit.
  8. Add finishing touches: If using blueberries, tuck them in small clusters. Place star fruit slices strategically (e.g., at north, south, east, west points). Tuck fresh mint leaves between the fruit.
  9. Fill the center bowl: Just before serving, pour the honey-lime dip into the center bowl.
  10. Step back and admire. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prep all fruit before arranging. Use a template (e.g., an upside-down plate) to mark the center for a perfect circle. Keep fruit cold but dry. The dip can be made up to 2 days ahead. Assemble the wreath no more than 4 hours before serving.
