Fruit Platter with Banana, Mango, Berries and Orange

Well, I’ll tell you, there’s nothing quite like the reaction when I bring out my show-stealing fruit platter with banana, mango, berries, and orange. It’s easy as pie, but looks like a million bucks! Displaying vivid colors and bursting with fresh, juicy flavors, it’s just an explosion of joy on a platter. And, don’t think twice; anyone can make it.

So, how do you get started? Simple, really. First things first, you’ll need your stars of the show: ripe bananas, sweet mango, a mix of vibrant berries, and some zesty oranges. That’s it! Now, make sure to choose fruit that’s fresh as a daisy and appealing to the eye. As they say, we eat with our eyes first, right?

The next step? Preparation, of course. But, don’t sweat it, this is like child’s play. Quick wash of the fruit—snap, crackle, pop—and you’re off to slicing. Just remember, be careful not to bruise the bananas. Yes, a bit of finesse is required, but that’s what makes it exciting!

Last but not least, the tricky part: arranging. Here’s where you can let your imagination run wild. Don’t be afraid to mix colors and shapes. I usually go for the ‘carefully careless’ look, a bit higgledy-piggledy — it adds to the charm, you see.

And, voila! Your show-stealing, eye-popping, quick-fix fruit platter is ready. Serve it up and watch their eyes pop! Fancy a pro-tip? Pair this with some creamy, cool yogurt dip. It’ll have them eating out of your hands!

So, there you have it, the fruit platter with a difference. Now you can whip up this stunner in no time. All that’s left is to bask in the oohs and aahs! Happy creating, homemakers!

– Gather your ingredients: ripe bananas, sweet mangoes, a vibrant assortment of berries (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), and juicy oranges.

– Rinse all the fresh fruits under cool running water, then pat dry with a paper towel.

– Peel the bananas, then slice them into even rounds. Be careful not to bruise the bananas while cutting.

– Peel and stone the mango, then slice it into bite-sized chunks.

– Hull the strawberries if using, then cut into halves or quarters depending on the size. Keep the rest of the berries whole.

– Peel the oranges, remove any seeds, and segment them. You can also cut these into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.

– Starting with the bananas, create a circular border on the edge of your platter.

– Then arrange the mango chunks next to the bananas forming another circle within the previous one.

– Similarly, create a contiguous inner circle with the oranges.

– Finally, fill the center of the platter with the colorful assortment of berries.

– For an appealing look, make sure the fruits are mixed up in color. Intersperse vibrant oranges with deep-purples and electric blues of the berries.

– Prepare this fruit platter just before serving to avoid the fruits from oxidizing and losing their freshness.

– Optional: Make a dip with Greek yogurt, honey and a splash of vanilla extract. Serve alongside for a creamy addition.

– Enjoy the vivid colors and the burst of flavors from your quick and easy, homemade Fruit Platter with Banana, Mango, Berries, and Orange.

That Was Quick!
