What fruits are best for the beach ball layout?

Strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, green grapes, orange segments, and watermelon work well for the colorful sections.

Can I substitute fruits for seasonal options?

Yes, feel free to swap in kiwi, mango, raspberries, or any preferred fresh fruit to suit the season or taste.

Arrange each fruit type in distinct, wedge-shaped sections on a round platter, alternating colors to replicate a beach ball pattern.

Vanilla or coconut yogurt makes a creamy dip, but fresh mint leaves and chilled sparkling water also enhance the experience.

Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly, then hull, slice, or cube as needed to fit neatly into the segments.
