# How To Make It:

01 - On a large serving platter, form a ring along the edge using assorted dry crackers, positioning them upright or fanned out for an attractive display.

02 - Place mixed roasted nuts in the spaces between the crackers to complete the outer circle.

03 - Create a colorful mound in the center of the platter by arranging seedless grapes, fresh berries, sliced kiwi, cubed mango, and pineapple chunks, alternating colors and shapes for visual appeal.

04 - Set small bowls filled with creamy hummus, Greek yogurt dip, and honey or fruit compote in the middle of the fruit arrangement.

05 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to maintain freshness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

No cooking means you can assemble it while chatting with guests, zero stress.
It actually looks like you spent hours planning when it takes about twenty minutes.
Everyone finds something they love, from the crispy nuts to the juicy fruit to the creamy dips.

02 -

Prep your fruit as close to serving time as possible because cut fruit oxidizes fast, and brown kiwi edges will haunt you even if it still tastes fine.
Use a large platter—there's nothing worse than a crowded arrangement, and the negative space actually makes it look more intentional and elegant.
