You have probably heard of entertaining boards or platters before. This fruit platter is a fun twist on these awesome platters.

This easy-to-make rainbow fruit platter is a great snack or dessert platter to have, especially on a hot summer’s day – a lovely, delicious centrepiece for a Christmas / Birthday / Easter / BBQ or party table this year.

Boards

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a fancy board. I purchase mine from Aldi for under $7. Any large platter, paddle board, Acacia serving board or even a tree bark round platter will do.

Styling your Board

Styling does depends on the shape of your platter. As I used a circular platter, I started in the middle with the bowls and then added each row of food.

  • For the platter to look sumptuous, you need to have plenty of food
  • Place any small bowls for small fruits if using. 
  • Work from the bigger items to the smallest ones
  • Try to avoid placing different varieties of the same food  and foods of the same colour next to each other
  • Fill in the gaps or spaces with small berries as you don’t want any of the platter showing through
  • Platters could be made ahead and covered loosely with cling wrap until ready to serve. Though I would keep it in the fridge to keep the fruit fresher and nice and cold.
  • For easy transport, make ahead on a board that has raised edges, wrap in cling wrap and keep in the fridge until leaving. 

For this board, I used:

  • blueberries
  • honeydew melon
  • rockmelon
  • watermelon
  • pineapple
  • mango
  • white dragonfruit
  • raspberries
  • blackberries
  • green grapes
  • black grapes
  • strawberries

Rainbow Fruit Platter

I created a bowl out of the skin of a pineapple to place the pineapple in. You could also do this for the melons, using a melon ball to scoop out the flesh.

What are your favourite fruits that you would love to see added to a fruit platter?
