Colorful creamy dips swirled to create a marbled effect, paired with an array of coordinated crackers.

# What's Needed:

→ Dips

01 - 1 cup classic hummus

# How To Make It:

01 - Place spoonfuls of each dip randomly on a large serving platter or shallow bowl, alternating colors for visual contrast.
02 - Gently swirl the dips together with a butter knife or the back of a spoon to form a marbled, stone-like pattern without overmixing.
03 - Drizzle plain Greek yogurt over the dips and swirl lightly to enhance the marble lines.
04 - Place the crackers grouped by color around the edge of the platter to complement the dips’ hues.
05 - Present immediately with small spoons or spreaders for guests to enjoy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like edible abstract art but takes barely twenty minutes to pull together.
  • Everyone assumes you spent hours on it, which is the best kind of kitchen secret.
  • You can make it entirely ahead and let guests serve themselves, giving you time to actually enjoy the party.
02 -
  • Don't overmix in your enthusiasm to make it pretty, or you'll end up with a brownish dip soup that looks nothing like marble.
  • Using dips at roughly the same temperature keeps the swirling clean and prevents one ingredient from melting into another.
03 -
  • Chill your platter before assembling so the dips maintain their definition a bit longer and don't spread too quickly into each other.
  • Use a small offset spatula instead of a knife for more controlled swirling, especially if you're nervous about the presentation.
