Here are some suggestions. Add a variety of color to the trey:
(Use organic fruits and vegetables.)
🍇🍐🥥
by season:

fall: berries, pears, apples, seedless grapes, citrus
winter: grapefruit, oranges, kiwi, apples
topical: pineapple, bananas, mango, papaya, star fruit

Tips:
- Use different color of the same fruit, example red and green grapes.
- Pick a color scheme or stick to shades of colors, example red grapes, strawberries, etc.; green and blue apples, kiwi, cantaloup, etc.
- Choose a platter that barely fits the amount of fruit being served. It should look very full.
- Consider using a few less-common fruits, example dragon fruit, star fruit, yellow kiwi. Even one unexpected item to shake things up a bit.
