Canada Flag Fruit Tray

Print Recipe

A festive and healthy fruit tray designed to resemble the Canadian flag, perfect for Canada Day celebrations or patriotic events.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 4 cups raspberries
  • 4 cups diced watermelon
  • 4 cups diced apples or bananas (for white section)
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows or peeled lychees (for white section, optional)
  • 1–2 cups diced red grapes or cherries

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare all fruits by hulling, peeling, or dicing as needed.
  2. On a large rectangular serving tray, arrange strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon pieces on the left third to create the left red bar of the flag.
  3. Fill the middle third of the tray with white fruits such as apples, bananas, lychees, or marshmallows to form the white center of the flag.
  4. Use additional red fruits in the middle to create a maple leaf shape (you can cut a template for guidance).
  5. Arrange the remaining red fruits on the right third of the tray to complete the right red bar of the flag.
  6. Refrigerate until ready to serve and present chilled.

Notes

  • Brush sliced apples or bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • You can substitute with other red fruits like pomegranate seeds or strawberries for variation.
  • A maple leaf cookie cutter can help shape watermelon or strawberry slices for the center design.
