# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in twenty minutes with zero cooking, so you can spend more time actually enjoying people instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • The visual impact is genuinely stunning—that mix of jewel-toned fruits and golden nuts makes guests feel like you've put in real effort.
  • It's endlessly flexible, so you can raid your fridge and still end up with something that tastes and looks beautiful.
02 -
  • Cut your fruit no more than two hours ahead or it starts to weep and looks tired; prep the crackers and nuts earlier and assemble just before serving.
  • The dips are where people make or break the experience—use good quality hummus and yogurt because they're tasted straight, not hidden in anything.
03 -
  • Toast your own nuts instead of buying pre-roasted if you have time—they taste fresher and more vibrant, and you control the salt level.
  • Make a vegan version by swapping Greek yogurt for coconut or cashew yogurt and using maple syrup instead of honey—it's just as stunning and just as beloved.
