After you wash and dry your fruit with a paper towel, peel and cut fruit into bite sized pieces. Start by selecting a large platter or tray that can accommodate the variety of fruits you’ve chosen. Arrange the fruits in rows or arcs, following the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Here are a few ideas to make a brilliant rainbow fruit platter: Red: raspberries, strawberries, cherries, watermelon, pomegranate arils Orange: cantaloupe, clementine or mandarin oranges, peaches, nectarines Yellow: mango, pineapple, golden kiwi, bananas, yellow watermelon, apricots Green: green kiwi, green grapes, honeydew melon

How To Build A Fruit Tray PREP: Wash and dry the fruit you plan to use. Cut any fruits that need the peel removed. LAYER: Arrange the fruit on the serving platter, starting on the outer edge, in the following color order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

First, you'll want to get out the platter that you will be using. Wash all the fruit and cut any fruit that needs to be cut into small pieces. I like to start from the inside of the rainbow, but you can start from the outside if you prefer. Add the violet, or purple fruit. Next, add the blue fruit. After the blue fruit, you'll add the green fruit.
