03 - Place each color group’s ingredients along their assigned curve, ensuring clear separation without mixing colors.
04 - Position dips, cheeses, and accompaniments in small bowls or nestled neatly amongst the relevant color sections.
05 - Top off any empty spaces with extra fruits, vegetables, or crackers to create a full and abundant presentation.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that gets people talking and taking photos before they even taste anything
  • Zero cooking required means you can actually enjoy the party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • The strict color separation makes it feel intentional and meaningful, like you've put real thought into every detail
02 -
  • The color separation is everything—if colors start bleeding into each other, the whole effect dissolves, so commit to keeping those lines clean and distinct
  • Prep everything before you touch the board, because trying to chop ingredients while arranging will turn your beautiful vision into frustration and a chaotic board
  • Choose your produce at peak ripeness and color saturation—a pale orange bell pepper or dull strawberry ruins the visual impact more than you'd expect
03 -
  • Buy produce 2-3 days before and let it sit in your fridge to reach peak color saturation—it makes an enormous difference in how vivid everything looks
  • Use a damp paper towel to gently polish your produce right before arranging, but be careful not to bruise softer fruits like berries
  • Create small flavor pairings in your mind as you go—the cheddar with pineapple, the blue cheese with blueberries—so when people ask what goes well together, you already know the answer
