# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks restaurant-worthy but takes only 20 minutes, which means you can actually relax before guests arrive.
  • The herb dip tastes like it belongs at a fancy brunch, but it's made from things everyone already has in their kitchen.
02 -
  • Arrange the dip in the center or off to one side intentionally, not haphazardly, because it serves as the focal point and anchor for the whole board.
  • Don't cut vegetables more than an hour in advance unless you want them to lose their snap and appeal.
03 -
  • Arrange vegetables just before people arrive so they stay at peak crispness and nothing has time to wilt or brown.
  • If making this ahead, keep vegetables and dip separate until the last moment, then assemble quickly.
