# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks restaurant-worthy but requires zero cooking skills—just arranging and slicing
  • Your guests will think you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent twenty minutes
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, so everyone at your table can enjoy it without worry
  • The combination of textures—creamy mozzarella, juicy grapes, crisp kiwi, briny olives—keeps every bite interesting
02 -
  • Dry everything thoroughly before placing it on the board. Wet produce is slippery, and watching your carefully arranged tree slowly avalanche across the table is not the holiday memory you want.
  • Assemble this no more than 2 hours before serving. The longer it sits, the more the produce releases moisture, and your beautiful board becomes a sad, soggy situation.
  • The color combination is everything—the contrast between the dark olives, bright green grapes, jewel-toned kiwi, and the pops of red and yellow is what makes people's eyes widen. Don't skip any of the colorful elements, even if you think you might.
03 -
  • Use a slightly damp paper towel to wipe the board before serving—it adds a subtle shine and shows off the wood grain beautifully in photos
  • If you're serving this at a standing party, place the board at eye level on a high table so people can admire it before they taste it
  • The secret to pomegranate seeds staying plump and glossy is to add them literally moments before serving—this is one element where timing is everything
