- 4 cups strawberries, stems removed
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice for soaking apples per 1 cup of water
Instructions
- Wash all fruit and let them dry.
- Cut the watermelon, apples, and honeydew into small squares. Halve or quarter the strawberries based on their size. If not serving immediately, soak sliced apples in a lemon juice and water mixture for at least 10 minutes (1 tablespoon of lemon juice per 1 cup of water).
- Arrange blueberries and blackberries at the top left of your serving dish as a guide for layering. Fill the dish with layers of red, white, and blue fruits until everything is used or you achieve your desired look.
