# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in twenty minutes flat, which means you can spend your energy on actually enjoying your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • Somehow a simple fruit platter feels fancy enough for company yet casual enough for a Tuesday afternoon snack.
02 -
  • Pat your fruits completely dry before arranging—moisture is your enemy and will make everything look soggy within minutes, no matter how perfect your arrangement started.
  • Don't cut delicate fruits like kiwi or apple until just before serving, or slice them and arrange them last so you avoid that oxidized, tired look that makes people hesitate before reaching for them.
03 -
  • Set up your platter no more than two hours before serving, or the cut fruits will start releasing water and the whole thing loses its freshness and visual appeal.
  • Make your yogurt sauce at least an hour ahead so the flavors have time to get to know each other—it tastes noticeably better when the lemon and honey have time to meld with the yogurt.
