# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in twenty minutes, which means you can actually pull this off even when you've left party prep until the last second.
  • The honey-lime dip tastes like something from a fancy brunch spot, but costs a fraction of what you'd pay and uses ingredients you probably have around.
  • People genuinely seem surprised by how simple it is, which always feels like winning at hospitality.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this more than a couple hours ahead; cut fruit starts to weep liquid and the platter begins to look droopy and tired instead of vibrant.
  • If you do need to prep earlier, keep the fruit in containers in the fridge and arrange it just before serving—the difference in appearance is genuinely striking.
03 -
  • Set up your platter on whatever serving dish you're using before you fill it—moving a fully loaded platter from counter to table is a recipe for disaster.
  • Chill your serving platter for fifteen minutes before arranging fruit if you can; it keeps everything colder for longer and feels luxurious.
