How to Make an Easter Snack Basket
Start by placing large leaves of red chard or romaine in the bottom and up the sides of the basket to keep the snacks from touching the basket. I used an 11″ round and 5″ deep Easter basket for reference.
Next add a large bunch of red grapes and a large bunch of green grapes on opposite sides down in the basket.
Fill in the rest of the basket with as many of your favorite snacks as will fit. Choosing a good variety of flavors, textures and colors makes for a beautiful presentation.
Such a simple way to add even more festiveness to your Eater table. Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
