# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely stunning with minimal effort, so you feel like a host who actually has it together.
  • Everyone finds something they want to eat, which means no one's standing around hungry while you panic in the kitchen.
  • The two homemade dips taste restaurant-quality but take less time than setting the board itself.
02 -
  • Arrange everything at least thirty minutes before guests arrive so condensation doesn't make the board look sad, and the ingredients aren't sitting in their own moisture.
  • If you're making this more than two hours ahead, keep the dips covered separately and add them at the last moment, or they'll start to look tired.
03 -
  • Buy pre-roasted red peppers from the jar to save yourself the effort; they taste nearly identical to homemade and mean you can make hummus in under five minutes.
  • If your hummus tastes too strong with garlic, add a tablespoon of water and a pinch of cumin; it smooths everything out and makes it taste less harsh.
