Chef's Tips
- Seasonal Selection: Choose fruits that are in season for the best flavor and freshness.
- Preparation Timing: Cut the fruits as close to serving time as possible to maintain freshness and prevent browning.
- Citrus Trick: Lightly toss apples, bananas, or pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of yogurt or chocolate dip for added indulgence.
- Storage: If preparing ahead, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
