# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can prep this while catching up with guests who've already arrived.
  • It's the kind of board that looks fancy enough to impress but honest enough to feel like a friend made it, not a caterer.
02 -
  • Soak all your cut vegetables in ice water for at least 10 minutes before arranging; they'll be crispier, last longer on the board, and stay fresh-tasting throughout the party.
  • Arrange everything no more than 2 hours before serving—some fruits will start to oxidize, and dips will begin to separate if they sit too long.
03 -
  • Use odd numbers when grouping items—three kiwis in a cluster look intentional, while four feels random and messy.
  • Keep a small wet cloth nearby while arranging; you can wipe your fingers between touches to prevent bruising delicate fruits and to keep your arrangement looking clean and thoughtful.
