This Brunch Fruit Board is a colourful, crowd‑pleasing centerpiece built from fresh, juicy fruit arranged with intention for maximum visual impact and easy grazing. The approach is simple: choose a generous board or tray, anchor the layout with small bowls for dips or nuts, and arrange fruit in tidy sections and elegant fans so colours pop and textures contrast. Optional extras like cheeses, dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate pieces add variety and turn the board into a complete brunch offering.
Success hinges on prep: wash and thoroughly dry fruit so the board stays crisp and clean, slice just before arranging for the freshest look, and cluster similar items to create fullness. Keep the garnishes light and fresh—mint leaves add aroma and a final touch of green—and present the board immediately or chill briefly to keep everything perky.
