# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zero cooking required—just fresh fruit and 25 minutes of mindful arranging, which somehow feels more therapeutic than stressful.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone at your table actually gets to eat the centerpiece.
  • People will think you spent hours on this, but the secret is that color gradients do the heavy lifting.
02 -
  • Toss apple and pear slices with a squeeze of lime juice as soon as you slice them—this is the tiny detail that separates a platter that looks fresh at the end of the meal from one that fades.
  • Arrange everything on a completely dry platter; any moisture makes fruits slide around and disrupts your careful gradient instead of letting it shine.
03 -
  • Cut all your fruit while your platter chills, so you're ready to arrange with focus and intention rather than rushing.
  • Use small bowls to organize fruit by color before you start arranging, so your hands move smoothly and your platter stays pristine during construction.
