It's officially winter and the Christmas holiday is just days away. But unfortunately, it's also cold and flu season. I've been refilling my hand sanitizer, taking my elderberry, and nourishing my body to try and protect myself from unwanted germs and illness.
My husband and I would rather protect our bodies naturally, so I've been stocking the house with vitamin-rich foods - stocks, vegetables, lean meats, and fruits. Once the fridge was filled with fruit, I immediately thought about an immune boosting fruit salad I made this time last year.
Not only is this fruit salad delicious and full of nutrients, it can easily be turned into a festive dessert for your holiday table! It's made with kiwi, clementines, pomegranate arils, blueberries, and pineapple.
- Kiwi: contains vitamin C and fiber
- Clementines: contains antioxidants and vitamin C
- Pomegranate: contains vitamins, minerals, and immune boosting properties
- Blueberries: a top antioxidant superfood
- Pineapple: loaded with vitamins and contains immune boosting properties
Christmas Fruit Salad Wreath
Once you cut up your fruit, it can be arranged and layered to look like a Christmas wreath. I even added some rosemary garnish to give it a more wreath-like appearance. In the middle of the salad, I placed a bowl of fruit dip. Obviously not as healthy as eating the fruit itself, but - hey - it's the holidays!
Obviously the first step in prepping this fruit salad wreath is cutting up all of the fruit. I cut the pineapple with star cookie cutters for a cute touch!
Then, I arranged the fruit on a wood slice lined with parchment paper (you can use a round platter or plate). Once the wreath was arranged, I added the fruit dip in the middle.
