Sweet and Scarily Healthy!
Halloween Fruit Salad is the perfect healthy treat for everyone! 

You’ll need Mini Halloween cookie cutters that are between 2-3 inches. Any bigger than that and you will not get many cuttings. Halloween shape cookie cutters of a cat, ghost, bat, and a pumpkin work the best.
A large black platter works well to contrast with the colorful fruits.

Serves 8

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 bottle of soda water
  • 2 Pears sliced
  • 1 Apple, peeled and sliced
  • 1 Pineapple, peeled and sliced
  • 1 Honeydew melon, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cantaloupe melon, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 Watermelon
  • 4 Clementines
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pomegranate, seeded for the eyes +/OR mini dairy-free chocolate chips point side down.
  • Handful of each: blackberries, blueberries, and grapes
  • Cucumber or celery for making clementines look like pumpkins
  • Optional: passionfruit, cut in half

Directions:

Preparing the fruit for the salad:

  1. In a bowl, presoak the apple and pear slices in soda water to prevent them from turning brown. Cover and keep in the refrigerator to soak while you prepare the other fruits.
  2. Use the ghost shape cutter on pineapple slices, avoiding the core.
  3. Use the cat cutter on honeydew melon slices
  4. Use the bat cutter on watermelon slices
  5. Use the pumpkin cutter on the cantaloupe slices
  6. Peel the clementines and add either cucumber stalks or celery stalks to the center to make them resemble pumpkins.

Note: Any leftover fruit from what has been cut out from making the shapes can be chopped into smaller chunks to add to the fruit salad.

Assembling the salad:

  1. Start with the extra cut chunks of melon and pineapple at the center of the bottom.
  2. Drain the apple and pears of soda water and layer them like a wheel around the edge of the plate with the slices of cantaloupe melon, clementines, blackberries, pineapple, blackberries, and sliced apple.
  3. Using a cocktail stick, make holes to insert the pomegranate seeds and chocolate chips for the eyes.
  4. Add Halloween clementine pumpkins, cut out shapes of cats, pumpkins, bats, and ghosts on top of the fruit salad.
  5. Next, add kiwi, blackberries, blueberries, and grapes between shapes.
