# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's the ultimate conversation starter—guests can't help but admire it before they taste it, and you'll find yourself genuinely proud to present it
  • Everything is prepared but nothing is cooked, so you can focus on the artistry of arrangement instead of scrambling in the kitchen
  • It feeds a crowd generously while making you look like you've spent hours preparing, when really it's just beautiful simplicity
  • The vegetarian options are built right in, so you're not serving a separate board—everyone feels included
02 -
  • Prep your ingredients at least 2 hours ahead but assemble no more than 1 hour before serving; cheeses begin to weep and fruits oxidize if left too long
  • The wreath shape only works if you commit to it fully—hesitation shows, so arrange with confidence and treat it like you're designing something intentional, because you are
  • Your dip is the center of gravity; if it's good, everything tastes better by association, so don't skimp on quality feta or skip the fresh pepper
03 -
  • Cheese tastes better at room temperature, so pull everything from the fridge 15 minutes before assembling—it tastes richer and feels less firm to bite
  • The secret to this board looking effortless is actually very intentional spacing; leave breathing room between colors so every element pops instead of blending together
