Notes
TipsThese tips give you the tools to create an attractive and delicious fruit tray that will impress your guests and provide a healthy and refreshing snack option!
Choose a variety of fruits: Select a variety of colorful and ripe fruits to include on your fruit tray. Consider using seasonal fruits for the freshest and most flavorful options.
Cut the fruit just before serving or cover until you're ready to serve!
Arrange the fruit attractively: Arrange the fruit attractively on the tray, using different colors and textures for a visually appealing display. You can arrange the fruit in piles, clusters, or in a pattern.
Use a sturdy tray: Use a sturdy tray or platter that can support the weight of the fruit and won't warp or bend under the weight.
Keep the fruit chilled: Keep the fruit chilled until serving time to help keep it fresh and prevent it from spoiling.
Provide small bowls for dipping! A dipping sauce, such as a yogurt or chocolate dip, can be a tasty addition to a fruit tray.
Making Ahead and Storing LeftoversMaking ahead: I recommend making your fruit tray just before serving, however, this can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance. A great way to keep the fruit fresh is to covered with plastic wrap once assembled on the board. You can also pre-cut the fruit and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and assemble when you're ready to serve.Storing Leftovers: store any extra fruit in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
