# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely stunning and requires zero cooking skills, just thoughtful arrangement and a good eye for color
  • You can prepare it 30 minutes before guests arrive, removing the stress of last-minute cooking
  • Everyone finds something they love on this board—it's naturally vegetarian-friendly and easily adaptable for dietary preferences
02 -
  • Assemble this no more than 30 minutes before serving—the fresh herbs will start to fade and soften fruit can weep moisture onto the board if it sits too long
  • Taste your dip before the party starts; if it needs salt or brightness, adjust it then rather than trying to fix it at the last minute
03 -
  • Buy quality ingredients but don't overthink it—a beautiful arrangement makes even simple cheeses and fruits feel special
  • Keep the dip cold until the moment you serve by setting the bowl on ice, and refresh it with a new drizzle of olive oil halfway through the party
