# Expert Hints:
01 -
- They make ordinary fruit feel like an event without any actual cooking
- The yogurt dip transforms fresh fruit into something dessert worthy while keeping it light
- You can prep them ahead and they still look gorgeous hours later
02 -
- Soak wooden skewers for 15 minutes if you are worried about splinters though honestly with soft fruit you usually don't need to bother
- Skip delicate fruits like banana or raspberries on the skewers themselves since they will oxidize or fall apart
- The yogurt dip can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator
03 -
- Buy a few extra pieces of each fruit since some will inevitably be less attractive once you start prepping
- If serving outside, keep the dip on ice or bring it out just before eating to prevent separation
