Hidden Oasis Fruit Ring

# What You Need:

01 - 5.3 oz assorted dry crackers (water crackers, multigrain, rye)

02 - 3.5 oz mixed roasted nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans)

03 - 1 cup seedless grapes (red or green), washed

04 - 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

05 - 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced

06 - 1 small mango, peeled and cubed

07 - ½ cup pineapple chunks

08 - 3.5 oz creamy hummus

09 - 3.5 oz Greek yogurt dip or tzatziki

10 - 3.5 oz honey or fruit compote

01 - On a large serving platter, place assorted dry crackers upright or fanned out around the edge to form a ring.

02 - Nestle mixed roasted nuts between crackers to complete the outer circle.

03 - Create a colorful, lush mound of fresh fruits in the center, alternating colors and shapes for visual appeal.

04 - Set small bowls with 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 one hour before serving.

01 -

It looks like you spent hours preparing when really you invested about twenty minutes and mostly just chopping.
Everyone finds something they love on it, so you don't have to worry about pleasing picky eaters.
The contrast of textures—crispy, creamy, juicy, crunchy—makes every bite feel intentional rather than accidental.

02 -

Prep your fruit at the last possible moment—cut too early and it starts to brown or weep, which dulls the whole visual effect you worked for.
Keep your dips cold; this sounds obvious but I learned it the hard way at a summer party when the yogurt dip separated from sitting out, and suddenly nobody wanted to eat it.

03 -

Chill your platter in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling if you have time—it keeps everything fresher longer and the presentation stays crisper.
Use a shallow platter rather than a deep bowl so the arrangement stays visible and people can actually reach everything without digging.
