# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that takes just twenty minutes, so you actually have time to enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • Every single ingredient is something you probably already have or can grab on your way to a gathering, no specialty hunting required
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, which means nobody feels left out, and it works for almost any dietary preference with simple swaps
02 -
  • Dry your fruit thoroughly before arranging. Wet grapes and kiwis will slide around and your carefully planned layers will shift as people reach across. I learned this the hard way when my whole base layer shifted right as my mother-in-law was taking photos
  • The olives are salty, which is part of their charm, but warn guests if anyone is watching their sodium intake. Also, double-check those pits are really out—nothing ruins a festive moment faster than someone biting into a pit
03 -
  • Keep the board in the coolest spot at your gathering until serving time, and consider placing it on a slightly elevated surface so everyone can see it—it's too beautiful to hide on a low table
  • If any fruit starts looking tired after an hour, refresh it by quickly patting with paper towels and rearranging ornaments to cover any soft spots. Nobody will know you've done a little refresh mid-party
