Recipe Makes 1 American Flag Platter
Ingredients:
12 wood skewers
1 lb. strawberries – We love Melissa’s Produce for all of our fresh, organic produce, shipped directly to your home! Check it out for yourself!
6 oz. blueberries
3 bananas
Serving tray
Instructions:
- Wash strawberries and blueberries with Eat Cleaner Fruit & Vegetable Wash and pat dry.
- Set blueberries aside for later use.
- Cut the stems off of the strawberries and cut each in half. Set aside.
- Slice bananas about 3/4″ to 1″ in thickness. Set aside.
- Now it’s time to start skewering…starting with the blueberries, skewer about 5-6 blueberries on top and alternate between one banana slice and one strawberry half until you reached the end of the skewer – do this for the first five skewers. Then, skewer only the bananas and strawberries, alternating one slice each for the remaining skewers.
- Place on platter in the shape of your American flag and serve, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve!
Enjoy your fruit flag and have a happy Fourth!
