With an array of fresh berries, grapes, physalis, and mango, it offers all the colors of the rainbow for a showstopping presentation that spruces up any table. 

This fruit tray is always requested for gatherings and makes the perfect addition to a backyard barbecue, alongside other crowd favorites like my veggie dip tray, tomato caprese salad, and chicken Caesar pasta salad. I also love to serve it for dessert, topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Garnish the tray with edible flowers, fresh mint, or lavender, and all your guests will be impressed.
