Summer Rays Sun-Shaped Tray (Printable)

Bright sun-shaped fruit display with pineapple, mango, oranges, and garnishes for fresh summer appeal.

# What you'll need:

02 - Peel and slice mangoes and oranges into long, thin strips or wedges to create the sun's rays radiating outward from the pineapple center.
03 - Cut the watermelon into star or triangle shapes using a cookie cutter or knife, then arrange them between the mango and orange rays for added color contrast.
04 - Fill gaps between the watermelon shapes and rays with clusters of green grapes and blueberries to provide bursts of color and texture.
