Ingredients
🍉 1 whole watermelon, sliced into wedges

🥝 Sliced kiwi
🍑 Sliced peach
🍍 Diced pineapple
🥭 Cubed mango
🍊 Sliced orange
🍇 Green grapes
🫐 Blueberries
🍇 Raspberries
🍑 Sliced plum
Instructions
1- Preparation:
- Begin by cutting the watermelon into wedges. Each wedge should then be further sliced into smaller triangle pieces, ensuring the rind is left attached for easy handling.
- Carefully slice the strawberries, kiwi, and plum.
- Pit and peel the peach before slicing it.
- Peel the pineapple and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- For the mango, employ the "hedgehog" method: slice the cheeks off the mango and cut the flesh without piercing the skin. Push the skin outward to create cubes.
- Slice the orange into thin rounds.
2- Arrangement:
- Using a large serving platter, arrange each type of fruit in a creative and appealing layout.
- A radial design works well, where each fruit is displayed in separate sections, forming a rainbow of colors.
- For a striking presentation, ensure that contrasting colors are placed next to each other.
3- Serving:
- Once arranged, the fruit platter can be served immediately.
- It can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled if you prefer.
