Banana palm trees

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 mandarin
• 2 kiwi fruits

Method

Peel the banana and cut it down the centre lengthways. On a chopping board cut each half into 1.5 cm slices. Slide your knife underneath the banana slices and place them onto the plate. Arrange them as two tree trunks.

Peel the mandarin, and separate the segments. On the plate, place the segments in rows below the banana to create an island.

Peel the skin off the kiwi fruit and cut into small segments. Place above the banana ‘tree trunks’ to look like palm leaves.
