Christmas Fruit Wreath with Maple Yogurt Dip

When it comes to holiday entertaining, few things are as eye-catching (and easy) as a Christmas Fruit Wreath. Made with an array of colorful fruits, fresh rosemary sprigs and mint leaves. This centerpiece doubles as both a feast for the eyes and a healthy snack. Paired with a creamy Maple Yogurt Dip, it's a festive, crowd-pleasing, and healthy treat for your next holiday gathering.

This Christmas Fruit Wreath is more than just a healthy and festive side dish, it is super easy to make, full of flavor and fresh ingredients and a gorgeous centerpiece for your table. With a combination of vibrant fresh fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, and green grapes, the addition of some chocolate dipped fruit and dried fruit paired with a delicious, tangy and creamy maple yogurt dip, this fruit wreath is sure to become a new holiday tradition.

While you are creating this beautiful wreath, it is important to know that you can customize the fruit assortment to your liking. This easy appetizer or side dish will pair perfectly with a glass of bubbles and our favorite and sparkly Sugared Cranberries (sprinkle these on the fruit wreath to add a touch of shimmer and shine).

Ingredient Notes

Seasonal Fruit: While you can use any fruit, try to choose fruit that is in season for the best flavor. I love adding fresh strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and green grapes. You can also add some dried fruit for texture and flavor.

Herbs: Rosemary and mint are great options for the base of the wreath as well as the garnish. These herbs had a perfect aroma and perfect amount of color for this festive dish.

Maple Yogurt Dip: Homemade yogurt dip that is sweetened with maple syrup, vanilla bean paste and a dash of cinnamon.

Sugared Cranberries: Adding the perfect amount of sparkle as a final touch. These are easy to make and can be sprinkles on the fruit wreath and also used in your favorite holiday cocktail.

Assemble the Wreath

• On a large round platter, arrange the rosemary sprigs in a circle to form the base of the wreath.

• Add the fresh mint leaves in between all the fruit and then sprinkle in a few sugared cranberries for garnish

Make the Maple Yogurt Dip

Tips to Make The Perfect Christmas Fruit Wreath

Fruit Variation
Be creative and choose your favorite fruit to make this festive wreath. You can add all fresh fruits, dried fruit or an assortment of both. I also love adding chocolate dipped fruit for a sweet surprise.

The Perfect Dips
I love this Maple Yogurt Dip, but you can always change it out for something different. Adding a chocolate dip to make this similar to a fondue or a delicious poppy seed dip would also be a great addition.

Assembly and Serving
It is best to assemble and serve this fruit wreath the same day so that the ingredients are super fresh and don't get dried out from the refrigerator.
