Preparing a Party Fruit Tray

I love entertaining at my house on special occassions.  Last year on my son's 3rd birthday, I prepared a fruit tray very economically using fresh fruit from Aldi!  The entire tray cost me less than $10 to assemble.  This is remarkable since purchasing such trays can get pretty pricey. And, I think it looks pretty professional :)

I used blueberries, strawberries, grapes and pineapple since they are kid-friendly and look so gorgeous.  For a little green color, I added some fresh mint from my neighbor's garden.  The finishing touch was this dip served in the hollowed out portion of the pineapple.

So delish and pretty!

Have a great Thursday.
