This is the best snack for a St. Paddy’s Day party or gathering and is absolutely irresistible, especially when combined with the insanely delicious strawberry fruit dip!

Yesterday was my first time ever making strawberry fruit dip and let’s just say it was the most delicious dip my husband and I have ever tasted! It’s so easy and only requires two ingredients! You’ll be so happy you made this. Ours was devoured in about 30 minutes, along with all the sliced fruit.

Ingredients in Fruit Rainbow with a Pot of Gold & Homemade Strawberry Fruit Dip

Strawberries. Strawberries make up the outer part of the fruit rainbow. Strawberries are nutrient rich and can boost your memory, strengthen your immune system, and protect your heart.

Oranges. You can use cuties/mandarin oranges or navel chop up Navel oranges.

Pineapple. Use real pineapple or canned. Pineapple is rich in vitamin C and helps with immune response and metabolism.

Grapes. Green grapes make up the green portion of the rainbow. You could also use kiwi fruit. According to Healthline's post, green grapes are packed with potassium which may help lower blood pressure. They may also help reduce cholesterol.

Blueberries. Blueberries add nutrition and flavor. According to Healthline’s article, blueberries are one of the top antioxidant foods and have been shown to directly release antioxidants in your body.

Grapes. Red grapes make up the indigo or purple part of the rainbow.

Mini marshmallows. Mini marshmallows make the white cloud.

Rolos. Rolo candies make up the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Strawberry cream cheese. Use full-fat strawberry cream cheese for the best flavor.

Marshmallow creme. Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme combines with the strawberry cream cheese to make the fruit dip.
