You can use any combination of fruit to make this fruit tray. Canteloupe, honey dew melon, strawberries, grapes, kiwi fruit, oranges, pineapple or starfruit just to name a few. You can even use apples and bananas if you first coat them in lemon juice so that they don't turn brown. You're limited only by your imagination!
I used a half of a pineapple that was hollowed out as a serving dish for the dip. You can even use green leafy lettuce to line your serving tray to make a nice presentation.
