Make Your Next Brunch A Little Sweeter

Brunch – the meal that has it all! There’s a little something there for everyone, whether you have a sweet tooth or desire something savory. From egg dishes to hamburgers, the opportunities are endless when you’re deciding what to serve. So why not make your next brunch a little sweeter, both literally and nutritionally, with fruit?

Leafy Green Goodness

Salads provide the ideal quick and easy side dish that every brunch needs. In fact, a pile of leafy greens provides a base with ample opportunity for fruity additions. Try blackberries, apples, pomegranate seeds, or even pears to make the perfect “pair” with your leafy greens! A light vinaigrette dressing ties the sweet and savory flavors together with a zesty bow. Mix a touch of Dijon mustard with olive oil and red wine vinegar to create a quick and easy vinaigrette.

Cheese Please!

The mild flavor of ricotta cheese couples beautifully with almost any fruit. Plus, there’s something aesthetically pleasing about a thick-cut piece of toast loaded high with fruit and toppings. The white ricotta spread forms the ideal foundation to make the fruits’ color pop! I love this ricotta toast recipe because it serves as a starting point from which to build your fruity masterpiece. Try exchanging the bananas for apples or strawberries. Looking for a little extra oomph? Drizzle peanut butter or chocolate over your toast. The combinations are limitless!

Greek Yogurt – With A Twist

Yogurt and fruit are a classic duo. Put a spin on the tried and true by adding a little honey and vanilla to your protein rich Greek yogurt. Offer an array of fruits so that guests can enjoy mixing and matching their favorites. A buffet style yogurt bar is sure to “wow” with the abundance of colors and textures. My personal favorite options are raspberries and blackberries!
