# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that looks like it took hours but comes together in 30 minutes—pure kitchen magic
  • Everyone at the table feels celebrated, not just fed, because you've created something that honors them
  • Gluten-free and naturally vegetarian, so you're not leaving anyone out of the celebration
  • It scales effortlessly—feed 8 people or 50, the same beautiful principle applies
02 -
  • Prep your board no more than 2-3 hours before serving; berries and cut vegetables release moisture, and you want everything to look fresh and crisp when people gather
  • If you're using avocado in the guacamole, prepare it last and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning—this detail matters more than you'd think
  • The blue and purple sections will naturally want to blur together; keep blackberries separate from blueberries by placing them in different parts of the blue section, or they'll start looking muddy instead of magnificent
03 -
  • If you can't find true blue foods, blue corn chips and blue cheese are your secret weapons—together they create the blue you need without looking forced
  • Purple cauliflower florets are unexpectedly delicious raw and stay stunningly vibrant when prepped just a few hours before serving; they're worth seeking out at farmer's markets
