# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a recipe that actually gets people talking and gathering around the table—there's something about a beautiful platter that brings out the best in conversation.
  • Zero cooking means zero stress, giving you more time to enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • Every single vegetable and fruit stays perfectly fresh and crisp, celebrating the season's best flavors without any fuss or complicated techniques.
02 -
  • Prep everything separately and keep items in the refrigerator until the very last moment before arranging; this ensures maximum crispness and coolness when your guests arrive.
  • Don't slice delicate items like strawberries and kiwis too far in advance—they'll oxidize and lose their brightness; do these within an hour of serving.
03 -
  • Keep edible flowers in ice water until the very last moment so they stay perky and picture-perfect, then add them to your platter just as people arrive.
  • If any dips seem thick or separated, stir in a splash of plant-based milk to bring them back to the perfect consistency, and always taste before serving to adjust seasoning.
