Some depends on the fruit you are using. Apples, peaches, pears, oranges, lemon juice, pineapple, mango, papaya, coconut, etc..

A basic European picnic is fruit/wine, cheese and bread. You can work from this.

Red wine is typically added to red meat and marinara sauces. White wine to cheese dishes and white sauces, like fondue. A chocolate fondue is fun with fruits. These basics can lead to individual, complementary dishes. Why does strawberry short cake work very well as one dish? What if each of your fruits were spread across each dish? Grapes and tangerines or pears in the salad. Fruit chutneys can go on meat, rice, or breads. Apple sauce (made yourself with cinnamon and larger chunks of apple) or the Pacific fruits go nicely with pork. Then a variety of fruits and cheeses as the finishing course. Or a larger fruit tort that has a "fruit salad" on top of it.

In addition, your culinary institution should learn and teach ideal food combinations. Fruit is best eaten by itself on an empty stomach; it is the easiest single food to digest. They clear the stomach in a half hours. I hope you research this for your future choices, and share with those you know, including your chefs.
