Ingredients
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Blueberries
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced
- Mango, peeled and cut into cubes or thin slices
- Red grapes, halved
- Pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Blackberries
- Apple, thinly sliced with lemon juice to prevent browning
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly to avoid extra moisture that could make the platter soggy.
- Prep the fruits: hull and halve strawberries; peel and slice kiwi and mango; halve grapes; slice apples thinly and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange the base layer by placing larger fruit pieces like mango slices and pineapple chunks around the board to create a balanced foundation.
- Fill in the gaps with smaller fruits like blueberries, blackberries, and halved grapes, creating pops of color and a rainbow pattern.
- Add finishing touches by sprinkling fresh mint leaves and toasted nuts over the top. Optionally, drizzle a light honey-lime dressing for extra flavor.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm fruits to avoid mushiness. Prep fruits ahead but assemble the platter about 30 minutes before serving to keep it fresh. Toss apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Keep the platter chilled until serving. For nut allergies, skip nuts or substitute with toasted coconut flakes. Drizzling honey or lime juice adds extra flavor.
