# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the festive vibes without sugar crashes or food coloring battles
- It takes twenty minutes start to finish but looks like you spent forever planning it
02 -
- Cantaloupe can be tricky to cube cleanly so I learned to slice it into thick slabs first then cross-cut into cubes
- The fruit starts releasing juice after about an hour so assemble this right before guests arrive for maximum visual impact
03 -
- Chill your platter for 15 minutes before arranging the fruit to keep everything fresh longer
- Pat the cantaloupe cubes dry with paper towels to prevent the platter from getting watery
