Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone had a great weekend. This morning I was thinking about what I was going to bring to my family barbecue, and as I was working out, I decided I would pick up some fruit and make a fruit salad. Then I remembered a picture I saw on Twitter of a flag made out of fruit and cheese, and I knew that I could make it and put my own little twist on it and everyone would love it. (Especially the little ones!) I grabbed this cute white platter out of my cupboard and headed out the door to Sprouts. I love how inexpensive the produce is at Sprouts!!
I bought one container of blueberries, two containers of strawberries and one container of raspberries. Everything looked so ripe and plump, and I just really loved the idea of serving something fresh and colorful. When I got to the dairy section, I was a little disheartened to see that they only had a soywhip, because I really wanted to use a light whip like a Cool Whip to serve as my white stripe. Just as I was about to give up hope, I spotted a whole bunch of containers of Cool Whip in the freezer section!! Yes!!!
This platter was so easy to put together, and it is the perfect dessert for a hot summer day, because it is fresh, vibrant in color, light and best of all: CUTE! My cousin, Sophia, even asked me to please make it again for the 4th of July. :) Win!!!
