Instructions
Wash and dry all of the fruit, and then slice, peel, or cut the fruit in desired shapes and sized.
In a bowl stir together the ingredients for the yogurt dip. Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed.
Place 2-3 small bowls on the cutting board or platter you will be using in a triangle shape to space them out. Add the yogurt dip to one bowl and berries or garnish such as granola or coconut flakes to the other.
Start by adding in the larger pieces such as watermelon, pineapple, melon and grapes. Alternate colors and textures so that no two similar colored types of fruit are side by side.
Fill in any spaces with smaller fruits such as berries, apples, oranges and kiwi.
