# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It actually tastes as good as it looks, which is rare for platters that spend more time on Instagram than on the table.
  • The honey-lime dip transforms ordinary fruit into something that feels intentional and a little bit fancy without any fuss.
  • You can throw it together while someone's already ringing the doorbell, and nobody needs to know.
02 -
  • Don't cut your fruit more than a few hours ahead unless you want melon that weeps into your platter and berries that turn to mush.
  • The dip actually tastes better after sitting for an hour or two—the flavors get to know each other, and the lime really opens up.
03 -
  • A melon baller is worth the drawer space—it transforms fruit prep from tedious to almost meditative, and the visual payoff is real.
  • Don't skip the lime zest on top of the dip; it looks fancy and tastes like you actually tried, which is the whole point of making something with your hands.
