A fresh, floral fruit arrangement served with creamy honey-yogurt dip for light gatherings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fresh Fruit

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 1 cup blueberries
03 - 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple, cut into flower shapes or chunks
05 - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
06 - 1 cup cantaloupe, scooped into balls or cubed
07 - 1 cup watermelon, scooped into balls or cut into flower shapes

→ Yogurt Dip

08 - 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
09 - 2 tablespoons honey
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
12 - Zest of ½ lemon, optional

# Directions:

01 - Wash all fruit thoroughly. Arrange on a large platter in a floral or blooming pattern, grouping by colors and shapes to resemble petals and leaves. Place grapes or blueberries in the center as flower centers.
02 - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.
03 - Place yogurt dip in a bowl at the center or alongside the fruit arrangement.
04 - Refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely impressive to look at, yet requires zero cooking skills or fancy plating knowledge.
  • The honey-yogurt dip tastes creamy and indulgent without weighing you down, making it perfect for gatherings where you want something light.
  • You can build it whenever you want and customize every single fruit based on what looks beautiful that day at your market.
02 -
  • Cut your fruit no more than two hours before serving, or it starts looking tired and the pineapple can turn brown at the edges no matter what you do.
  • Don't arrange on a warm platter—the fruit will start weeping juice within minutes and everything slides around like you didn't plan anything.
03 -
  • A melon baller is genuinely worth having if you make platters more than once, but a small spoon or even a sturdy measuring spoon works in a pinch.
  • If the dip separates slightly, whisk it again just before serving—Greek yogurt can be finicky, but a quick stir fixes everything.
