Polka Dot Platter Spheres

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup watermelon balls

02 - 1 cup cantaloupe balls

03 - 1 cup honeydew melon balls

04 - 1 cup red grapes

05 - 1 cup green grapes

06 - 1 cup mozzarella pearls (bocconcini)

07 - 1 cup marinated feta balls (optional)

08 - 1 cup mini bocconcini or small marinated cheese balls

09 - 1 cup stuffed green olive spheres

10 - 1/2 cup chocolate truffle balls

11 - 1/2 cup energy bites or nut butter balls

12 - Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

01 - Use a melon baller to scoop watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew into uniform spheres.

02 - Rinse red and green grapes thoroughly and pat dry.

03 - Drain mozzarella pearls and marinated feta balls to remove excess liquid.

04 - On a large serving platter, alternate the spherical items by color and type to create a polka dot effect.

05 - Incorporate optional savory or sweet spheres as desired to enhance variety and flavor.

06 - Decorate with fresh mint leaves for color contrast and aromatic appeal.

07 - Serve chilled alongside cocktail picks for easy individual serving.

01 -

It feels fancy and Instagram-worthy but takes just 25 minutes, no cooking required.
Every element is a perfect bite, so guests can graze without the mess of traditional platters.
You can build it entirely from ingredients you already have or easily grab from the store.

02 -

Pat your grapes and cheese completely dry—wet spots create dark patches on the platter that break the visual magic.
Assemble this no more than 30 minutes before serving so the fruit stays crisp and the mozzarella doesn't weep liquid onto the board.

03 -

Freeze your melon baller for 10 minutes before use—the cold metal glides through fruit more smoothly and creates cleaner spheres.
Keep everything on ice until the moment you serve so the board stays pristine and refreshing, not weepy or wilted.
