# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely stunning without requiring any fancy plating skills—the colorful bowls do all the work for you
  • Everything can be prepared hours ahead, so you're free to enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • It's the ultimate crowd-pleaser that somehow feels both casual and impressive at the same time
02 -
  • Everything should be at room temperature or slightly chilled—cold dips and vegetables taste flat and unforgiving, while warm ones sing
  • Arrange your platter no more than two hours before serving; the longer it sits, the more the colors start to bleed into each other and lose their vibrant punch
03 -
  • Prepare everything the morning of if you can, keeping dips and vegetables in the refrigerator until the last moment, then let them come to room temperature while you arrange the board—this is when flavors truly wake up
  • If you're traveling to a potluck or gathering, assemble your bowls in a sturdy cardboard box with a fitted wooden board inside, then carefully transfer everything at your destination—it takes five minutes and guarantees your mosaic arrives intact
