04 - Position dips, cheeses, and accompaniments in small bowls or neatly nestled within their respective color sections.
05 - Fill any remaining spaces with extra fruits, vegetables, or crackers to create a full, abundant presentation.
06 - Present immediately to preserve freshness and vibrant colors, then enjoy the visual and flavorful spectrum.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • It's a show-stopper that requires zero cooking—just honest ingredients arranged with care and creativity
  • Everyone finds something they love because you're working with the full spectrum of fresh flavors and textures
  • It's a conversation starter that brings people together around something joyful and visually unforgettable
02 -
  • Prepare your board no more than 2-3 hours before serving; berries start weeping and crackers get soft if left too long
  • Keep your guacamole in a bowl, not spread directly on the board—it browns and ruins the beautiful green line
  • The color separation is the whole point; resist the urge to mix things up for "variety" because the visual impact is what makes people stop and stare
03 -
  • Prep everything on separate plates by color before assembly; you'll work faster and feel more organized
  • Put your most beautiful, most colorful pieces at eye level or slightly higher—they catch light and draw the eye first
  • If something starts looking tired or bruised mid-party, gently remove it and replace it; nobody needs to watch your board age in real-time
