# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that actually tastes like something precious rather than looking it.
  • Zero cooking means you can pull it together whenever inspiration strikes, even on the busiest days.
  • People always think you spent hours on it, but the real magic is just honesty—good fruit, arranged with intention.
02 -
  • The pomegranate arils will dry out and look sad if exposed to air too long, so don't peel them until the last possible moment before serving.
  • Acid is your secret weapon—a light brush of lime juice on the pale fruits keeps them bright and stops oxidation from turning your edges brown.
03 -
  • Chill your platter itself for thirty minutes before arranging—cold surfaces keep fruits fresher longer and prevent weeping.
  • Work in sections rather than racing around the whole platter; it keeps you calm and lets you see proportions clearly as you build.
