Scale
Fruits
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Other
- 12 ounces yogurt pretzels
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash all the berries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry. Slice the fresh strawberries evenly and set aside.
- Arrange the Blueberry and Blackberry Section: In a small bowl, combine the blueberries and blackberries. Place this mixture on the upper left corner of a large cutting board or serving platter to represent the ‘stars’ of the flag.
- Create the Stripes: On the rest of the platter, alternate rows of sliced strawberries, yogurt pretzels, and raspberries to mimic the red and white stripes of the flag. Ensure the stripes are evenly spaced and visually distinct for the best effect.
- Serve: Once the arrangement is complete, serve immediately to maintain freshness and prevent the yogurt pretzels from becoming soggy.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm berries for the best appearance and taste.
- Slicing strawberries evenly helps create neat and uniform stripes.
- You can substitute yogurt pretzels with other white snacks like vanilla-flavored crackers if desired.
- Serve this tray immediately or within a short period to avoid moisture from the fruit affecting the pretzels’ texture.
