Choose Platter - To create this owl fruit plate, use any large (dinner size or larger) plate or platter. An oval size is ideal to help create the shape of the owl.
Add Eyes - Add your fruit dip to two small bowls at the top of the tray to create the owl eyes.
Arrange Fruit - Using your hands, artfully arrange fruit as pictured. Start with the pineapple in the center because it's easiest to place and stack, and then surround with strawberries.
Add Ears - Grapes are placed towards the end, for the feet and head of your owl! Slice a strawberry into the ears for the top, and serve.
Notes
Offer an array of fruits in contrasting colors.
Mix it up! Offer berries, citrus and more!
Only use fresh fruit purchased the day of or day before for the most color and fresh flavor.
The best fruit platters consist of a minimum of 3 fresh fruits, but the more, the merrier!
Wash all fruit so that it’s properly prepped. Slice or dice all fruit so it’s ready to eat before you arrange to keep your fruit plate clean.
Place toothpicks on or near your fruit platter to give guests an easy option to serve themselves.
Using a plate or platter allows all of the fruit to be easily seen so that nothing gets lost. Tip: To make your fruit plate look bountiful, opt for a smaller plate or platter than you think you need. For larger fruit trays, choose a wood cutting board.
