Print Recipe

A simple, festive fruit platter arranged like the American flag, paired with a creamy honey yogurt dip. Perfect for summer parties, picnics, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Watermelon, cut into small cubes or thin slices (seedless preferred)
  • Bananas, peeled and sliced
  • Green grapes, halved (seedless preferred)
  • Blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fruit under cold water and dry gently with a kitchen towel. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and slice bananas, cut watermelon into cubes or thin slices, and halve grapes if needed.
  2. On the platter, line up rows of strawberries and watermelon side by side to create the top and bottom red stripes of the flag.
  3. Line up the banana slices and green grapes in alternating rows just below the first red stripe and above the last red stripe to create the white stripes.
  4. Arrange a dense cluster of blueberries in the top-left corner of the platter to form the blue field with stars.
  5. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste.
  6. Place the dip in a small bowl or ramekin alongside the platter or drizzle lightly over the fruit if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Slice bananas just before serving to prevent browning or toss them in lemon juice if prepping ahead. Dry fruit well after washing to avoid watery dip. The yogurt dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. For a dairy-free dip, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
