Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 300g) green grapes
  • 1 cup (about 150g) red grapes
  • 1 cup (about 150g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 4–5 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
  • A handful fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 3 tablespoons (60ml) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the honey lime dip: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess to your liking. Set aside in the fridge.
  2. Prepare the fruit: Rinse all fruit under cool water and pat dry with a clean towel. Hull strawberries and slice into even pieces, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Arrange the base of the wreath: Place a large round platter on your work surface. Put a small bowl or ramekin in the center to create the empty center of the wreath. Begin placing green grapes around the bowl, forming a ring about 3-4 inches wide. Pack grapes closely together.
  4. Add the red accents: Scatter red grapes evenly around the wreath, pushing them gently into the green grapes.
  5. Place the strawberry slices: Tuck strawberry slices in between the grapes, arranging them so the red side is visible. Space them out evenly.
  6. Add the herb garnishes: Tuck small sprigs of fresh rosemary into the grapes at various points. Scatter fresh mint leaves around the wreath.
  7. Remove the center bowl: Carefully lift the small bowl out of the center of the platter.
  8. Fill the center with dip: Take the honey lime dip out of the fridge, give it a quick stir, and pour or spoon it into the center of the wreath.
  9. Final touches: Fill in any bare spots with extra grapes or strawberry slices. Add more mint leaves if needed.
  10. Serve immediately or chill: Best served fresh. If making ahead, assemble fruit wreath (without dip), cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Add dip and garnishes just before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip drying the fruit—excess water makes the platter messy and dilutes the dip. Use a round platter for the best visual effect. Layer the fruit (green grapes first, then red grapes, then strawberries) for depth. Make the dip first so flavors can meld. A natural, slightly imperfect arrangement looks better than a perfect one.
