In light of celebrating days in the lives of the people you love, a good idea is to make an arrangement from edible fruit. It would be a beautiful and healthy alternative and can be made for male or female.
Start off with finding a perfectly sized platter for the arrangement. Silver, glass or bamboo will help keep the arrangement fresh for longer.
Layering the display of fruits is the best way to make it work. Some design principles would also be helpful for its success, for example balance, symmetry, colour and so forth. If you have the skills you may want to cut the fruits into flowers as well, making it a fruity flower arrangement. This would look great if you place them on skewers for easy munching.
For the bouquet arrangement you could start by placing half a watermelon at the bottom, preferably peeled. The skewers will be stuck into it. Watermelons are good source of water, contain virtually no fat and have a healthy dose of vitamins A, C, and B6.
Your next layer will be blueberries. They provide a beautiful deep blue, reddish color to your arrangement. These would be placed on your skewers one at a time and then inserted into four corners of the watermelon. Blueberries are excellent antioxidants.
Before you add any more fruit you may want to add some flowers. The greatest tasting flowers to add to your arrangement would be to add some nasturtiums on your skewer and arrange it about half the height of the blueberries. These flowers can be your color code, as you get them in different colors each year as they cross pollinate. It would be a great additive for a healthy urinary tract and also as an antiseptic for the lymphatic system.
This layering of your arrangement can continue as you place them in the unique pattern you want for your center piece. Here are a number of other fruits to complete your arrangement:
Pineapple: This can be cut into triangles or little squares to add some dimension. Pineapple is good as a diuretic. It contains a myriad of vitamins and has great nutritional value.
Cantaloupe: Make little balls to insert into the skewer. This fruit has great properties for dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium.
Strawberries: This is again a great source of dietary fiber as well as vitamin C and manganese.
Grapes: This is another excellent source for potassium, with added calcium.
Don’t forget banana which is great for potassium as well.
You do not need to make an elaborate decoration, especially if it is going to serve as your dessert. You may also want to mix your colors on one skewer for a different appearance.

Most of use salt in our recipes regularly. Since salt is so common, it’s easy to believe that there’s only one or two kinds of salt for cooking. (I’ve been sprinkling from the same canister of table salt for about six months now.) But it turns out that there are several kinds of culinary salt that we can use in the kitchen.
