Instructions
Wash berries and spread out on paper towels or clean kitchen towels to dry slightly. Cut cantaloupe, mango, and kiwi into bite-sized pieces or slices.
Arrange one fruit at a time on a large platter or tray, making a rainbow. Reserve a few pieces of each fruit for the end, to allow you to fill in gaps or add height.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Swaps and Substitutions: Of course you can swap other berries and fruits to achieve the same rainbow effect! More ideas:
Orange: cantaloupe, clementine or mandarin oranges, peaches, nectarines
Yellow: mango, pineapple, golden kiwi, bananas, yellow watermelon, apricots
Green: green kiwi, green grapes, honeydew melon
Blue: blueberries, plums, Concord grapes
Violet/Purple: blackberries, red grapes
Amounts to Buy: A good rule of thumb is to have at least 1/2 cup of fruit per person. If, for example, you are serving 6 people and have 6 types of fruit, you would want a heaping 1/2 cup of each fruit. Buy more if serving kids--they tend to love fruit, especially in a rainbow display!
Make Ahead: You can prep this fruit tray up to 12 hours in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to serve. *Note: If you swap in bananas or another fruit that tends to turn brown quickly, however, you will want to assemble it just prior to serving.
