# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a show-stopper that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, but comes together in just 30 minutes—your secret's safe with me.
  • Everyone eats something they love because there's truly something for every taste, from fresh fruit lovers to cheese enthusiasts.
  • It naturally celebrates diversity and inclusion while keeping everyone fed and happy.
  • Completely vegetarian, mostly gluten-free, and customizable for any dietary preference.
02 -
  • Prep this as close to serving time as possible. Vegetables oxidize and fruits weep when exposed to air. I learned this the hard way at a brunch that looked sad by the time guests arrived.
  • Don't skip drying your produce. I cannot stress this enough. Wet ingredients create chaos, smudge colors together, and slide around like they're on an ice rink.
03 -
  • Use a slightly damp paper towel to wipe your board clean between colors while you're setting up. It prevents accidental mixing and keeps the board fresh.
  • If you're working ahead, prep your ingredients in the morning but assemble just before guests arrive. The difference in color vibrancy is absolutely worth the small time investment.
