Scale
Crackers and Nuts
- 5.3 oz assorted dry crackers (water crackers, multigrain, rye)
- 3.5 oz mixed roasted nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans)
Fresh Fruits
- 1 cup seedless grapes (red or green), washed
- 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 small mango, peeled and cubed
- 0.5 cup pineapple chunks
Dips
- 3.5 oz creamy hummus
- 3.5 oz Greek yogurt dip (or tzatziki)

Instructions
- Arrange Crackers: Place the assorted dry crackers upright or fanned out along the edge of a large serving platter to create a visually appealing ring that will form the base of your appetizer.
- Add Nuts: Nestle the mixed roasted nuts carefully between the crackers, filling in the outer ring and adding texture and flavor to complement the crackers.

- Place Dips: Set small bowls containing the creamy hummus, Greek yogurt dip, and honey or fruit compote in the middle of the fruit mound, giving guests flavorful options to accompany the platter.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the platter immediately for best freshness or cover and refrigerate for up to one hour to keep the fruits and dips fresh before serving.
Notes

- Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and visual appeal.
