Notes

WHAT FRUITS TO SERVE WITH DIP:
 
In the summer months, I’d recommend serving this fruit dip with:
  • sliced nectarines or peaches
  • whole strawberries
  • smaller berries, like blueberries or raspberries (serve with toothpicks!)
  • cut up pineapple chunks
  • banana slices
  • halved apricots

In the fall/winter months, you can serve this fruit dip with:
  • sliced apples
  • sliced pears
  • orange slices (I particularly like mandarin or sumo oranges here)
  • fresh grapes
 
TIPS:
  • You may want to serve this fruit platter with some toothpicks or small forks. This is especially helpful if you’re serving fruit dip with smaller fruits, like blueberries or grapes.
  • Serve the dip in a small bowl and surround it with an assortment of colourful, fresh fruits! I’d recommend choosing at least 3 different kinds/colours of fruits to make things pretty 🙂
  • You can wash and prep the fruit in advance. For any fruit that browns easily (e.g. bananas, apples, pears), you may want to cut them right before serving. That said, a squeeze of lemon juice and storing covered in the fridge can help delay the browning process a bit!

DAIRY-FREE/VEGAN VERSION:
For a dairy-free or vegan version of this recipe, simply swap the plain greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative. There are all sorts of brands available in stores these days!
