02 - 1 cup dark cherries, pitted
03 - 1 cup red grapes
04 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled

# How to Make It:

02 - Create a crescent shape around the pomegranate using dark cherries, red grapes, and hulled strawberries.
03 - Position raspberries, watermelon cubes, and pink grapefruit segments adjacent to the deep red fruits, forming a smooth color gradient.
04 - Place dragon fruit cubes, apple slices, and pear slices at the outer edge to continue the color transition.
05 - Optionally, embellish with fresh mint leaves and edible rose petals to enhance visual appeal and aroma.
06 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when it genuinely takes less time than scrolling through your phone.
  • Every fruit hits differently—the tartness of grapefruit next to sweet watermelon, the pomegranate seeds popping between your teeth like tiny flavor fireworks.
02 -
  • Prep your lighter fruits (apples and pears) last and hit them with fresh lemon juice immediately—oxidation is real and will ruin that pristine gradient faster than you'd think.
  • Don't overthink the arrangement; slight imperfection and organic spacing actually look more intentional than if every grape lines up perfectly like soldiers.
03 -
  • The moment you see a fruit starting to look tired or dull, swap it out—the visual impact of this platter lives or dies on every element looking absolutely pristine.
  • Arrange on a platter that's slightly larger than you think you need; white space around the edges actually makes the gradient more striking than cramming fruit edge-to-edge.
