# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you spent twenty-five minutes prepping fruit.
  • Nobody expects a fruit platter to feel this elegant, which means it works for both casual dinners and moments when you want to impress.
  • Fresh and naturally sweet, it won't leave anyone feeling heavy or overstuffed.
02 -
  • The pomegranate halves will start to dry out if exposed to air for too long, so cut them as close to serving time as you can manage.
  • Lime juice is your secret weapon for apples and pears—just a light squeeze prevents browning and adds brightness without tasting acidic.
03 -
  • Chill your platter in the fridge for thirty minutes before arranging if you have time—cold surfaces keep fruit fresher and look more elegant.
  • Use a sharp paring knife when cutting anything hard like apples or dragon fruit; rough cuts oxidize faster and look less polished.
