A Lunchtime Fruit Plate

I was getting ready for lunch today, looking in the fridge when I realized that we had a ton of fruit. I initially was going to make a fruit salad, but I decided to make a composed fruit plate instead and the kiddos loved it.

We had papaya, pear, strawberries, apples and grapes – they helped me take the tops off the berries, pulled the grapes off the bunch and helped arrange the fruit. I put the platter down on the table between them and let them choose what they wanted for their own plates. They absolutely inhaled the papaya, ate a lot of the strawberries and grapes, a few apples and hardly touched the pears (that’s ok, I ate those). Sometimes simple is so satisfying.
