02 - 1 cup dark cherries, pitted
03 - 1 cup red grapes

# How to Make It:

01 - Place the halved pomegranate, cut side facing up, at the center of a large serving platter.
02 - Form a crescent around the pomegranate by arranging the cherries, red grapes, and strawberries.
03 - Layer raspberries, watermelon cubes, and pink grapefruit segments adjacent to the deep red fruits to create a gradual color transition.
04 - Position dragon fruit cubes, apple slices, and pear slices at the outer edge of the platter to continue the color gradient.
05 - Optionally, garnish the arrangement with fresh mint leaves and edible rose petals to enhance color and aroma.
06 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary fruit into something people photograph before eating, turning a simple appetizer into a showstopper.
  • There's no cooking involved, just beautiful knife work and a few minutes of thoughtful arrangement, leaving you calm instead of stressed before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Prep your apples and pears no more than 2 hours ahead, and brush them lightly with lime juice—browning will ruin the color gradient you worked so hard to build.
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think; a cold platter straight from the fridge looks crisper and more vibrant than a room-temperature one.
03 -
  • A light drizzle of lime juice over the entire platter just before serving prevents browning and adds a subtle brightness that ties all the flavors together.
  • Chill your platter in the freezer for 10 minutes before arranging; a cold surface keeps fruits fresher longer and makes the colors pop against the ceramic.
