# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes as refreshing as it looks—no cooking means peak fruit flavor and texture.
  • The color gradient becomes a conversation starter without requiring any real skill or fussy technique.
  • You can swap almost any fruit based on what's ripe and beautiful that week, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • Not all pomegranates are created equal—look for ones that feel heavy for their size and have thin skin, which usually means juicier, sweeter seeds.
  • The moment you cut any fruit, especially apples and pears, a light brush of lime juice becomes essential; I learned this the hard way after a platter turned brown halfway through a party.
03 -
  • Use a very sharp paring knife for clean cuts on delicate fruits; a dull knife bruises them and they'll weep into the platter.
  • Arrange fruits 30 minutes to an hour before serving so people see it at its absolute best—timing matters more than you'd think.
