Recipe FAQs
- → Can this board be prepared in advance?
Yes, arrange the fruit wreath and cover it tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to maintain freshness.
- → Are there vegan alternatives for the dip?
Use coconut yogurt sweetened with maple syrup as a vegan-friendly substitute for the vanilla Greek yogurt and honey dip.
- → Why are cranberries only for garnish here?
Cranberries are very tart raw, so they are used decoratively rather than eaten directly in this arrangement.
- → What fruits can I swap for variety?
Persimmons, clementine segments, or dried fruits can be added for extra color and flavor diversity.
- → What tools are needed for assembly?
A large round serving platter, small bowl for dip, sharp knife, cutting board, and serving tongs are recommended.
