# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It looks like you spent hours arranging everything artfully when really it takes fifteen minutes tops
- Everyone gravitates toward the colorful platter and kids go especially wild for the pizza concept
02 -
- The watermelon releases water as it sits so this is best assembled right before serving or the yogurt gets watery
- Room temperature watermelon works better than ice cold because the cold makes the yogurt seize up when you spread it
03 -
- Chill your cutting board for ten minutes before assembling and the watermelon stays colder longer
- A small offset spatula makes spreading the yogurt so much easier than a regular spoon
