# Additional Tips::

01 -

It feels impressive but takes barely any cooking—just assembly and arrangement.
Works for unexpected guests, planned parties, or when you want something that tastes fresh without heating up the kitchen.
Everyone finds something they love, whether they're drawn to the nuts, the dips, or sneaking berries.

02 -

Prep your fruits no more than a couple hours ahead; moisture and time are not friends when you're building something that depends on visual appeal and crunch.
That moment when someone's hand hovers over the platter trying to choose? That's the sign you've nailed the balance of color and variety.
