The fourth of July is quickly approaching, which means plenty of cookouts and picnics. If you're looking for a healthy, patriotic snack, try a Flag Fruit or Veggies Tray. Whether you get the fruit or veggies from a tailgate market, local produce stand, or the grocery store; please be sure to wash your fruit before serving. Another great idea is to take a slightly bigger pan then the serving pan, fill it with water, freeze it and then place the serving tray into that pan to keep the fruit dish cool. Try these different snacks for the red, white and blue in the flag. Happy 4th of July!

Red - strawberries, watermelon chunks, raspberries OR
Red - red bell peppers, little tomatoes
Blue - blueberries, purple grapes, blackberries OR
Blue - blue carrots
White - bananas, coconut chunks, apples soaked in lemon OR
White - cauliflower, mushrooms

The possibilities are many! Get creative and enjoy!
