# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get to eat like a grazer without the guilt, since everything on here is actually good for you.
  • It takes fifteen minutes to assemble but looks like you spent an hour planning, which is secretly the dream.
  • Everyone finds something they love, and nobody feels left out at the table.
02 -
  • Wet vegetables are the enemy of a good board—dried is essential, not optional.
  • The dips need to be accessible and visible, or people will miss them and eat everything dry, which defeats the whole point.
  • A board that looks a little full is better than one with too much empty space; fullness feels generous.
03 -
  • Prep your vegetables in the morning and store them in airtight containers; your board comes together in minutes when you do this.
  • Arrange your board no more than two hours before serving so everything stays fresh and crisp—timing matters more than most people think.
