6 cupsgreen grapes on a vinecut into smaller bunches
6green kiwispeeled and sliced
1/2cupfresh raspberries
1/2cuppomegranate arils
1circular honey melon slice (for stars)
Instructions
Get out a large circular platter. Arrange the kiwi slices in a circular pattern around the outer rim to form the outer edge of the wreath, and on the inner rim of the plate to form the inner edge of the wreath.
Fill in the two rows of kiwi slices with the grape bunches, so that a wreath shape is formed around the plate with the grapes.
Using a sharp knife, cut the honey melon in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut a circular slice across the diameter of the honey melon, about a ½ inch wide. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut out 9 small stars from the honey melon slice.
Next, add the “decorations.” Fill in the gaps between the grapes and kiwi slices with raspberries and pomegranate arils. Arrange the stars evenly around the wreath.
Serve fresh along with your favourite fruit dip, if desired.

Notes
I used a circular serving platter that was 14-inches in diameter. You may need to adjust the quantity of the fruit based on the size of your platter.
If you don't have a large circular platter, you can also arrange the fruit in a circular pattern on a wooden tray, parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
For the best flavour, use ripe fresh fruit for this holiday wreath. If the kiwi isn’t ripe, it may have a more sour flavour.
If you don’t own a small star cookie cutter, then you can always skip the honey melon stars altogether, or make another Christmas shape instead.
If desired, you can place a small bowl of fruit dip in the centre of the wreath. It would taste great paired with this Yogurt Fruit Dip!
For best results, serve this tray immediately or within 1-2 hours of preparing. The fruit looks and tastes best when fresh.
The nutritional information is based on about 1/10th of the fruit tray. It may vary depending on how much fruit you use.
