Fresh fruit platter, cottage cheese and almonds

1️⃣ 🍓 Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the leaves, then slice half of them. Leave the others whole for a variety of textures.
2️⃣ 🍉 Cut the watermelon into thick slices, peel off the skin, and cut it into even cubes of about 2 cm.
3️⃣ 🥝 Peel the kiwi with a paring knife, then cut it into thin slices for a harmonious visual effect.
4️⃣ 🫐 Quickly rinse the blueberries under running cold water, then dry them gently with a paper towel.
5️⃣ 🧀 Place the cottage cheese in the center of a flat, clear plate to highlight the colors. 6️⃣ 🍓 Arrange the fruit around the bowl in colorful arcs: strawberries on the left, blueberries on the bottom, watermelon cubes on the right, and kiwi slices on top.
7️⃣ 🌿 Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves on top of each group of fruit for a touch of freshness.
8️⃣ 🌰 Add slivered almonds to the strawberries and watermelon for a crunchy touch.
