# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that takes barely half an hour and impresses everyone at the table.
  • Every single ingredient is just fruit—no cooking, no stress, entirely vegan and naturally gluten-free.
  • The color gradient is so satisfying to create and even more fun to photograph for a moment before eating.
02 -
  • Prep all your fruits before you start arranging—the moment you start placing them, the clock begins ticking on browning and drying.
  • If you're serving this more than an hour ahead, lightly brush the apple and pear slices with lime juice; it stops oxidation without making them taste noticeably citrusy.
03 -
  • Buy your pomegranate a day or two early if possible—softer skin means easier halving and juicier seeds.
  • If any of your fruits are watery (like watermelon), pat them dry with paper towels before arranging so they don't drip onto paler fruits.
