# What You’ll Need:

→ Fresh Vegetables

02 - 1 cup cucumber slices
03 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes
04 - 1 cup bell pepper strips (mixed colors)
05 - 1 cup sugar snap peas

14 - 1/2 cup dried fruit (apricots, cranberries, or figs)

# How To Make It:

01 - Wash and dry all fresh vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumbers and bell peppers as needed.
02 - Arrange the vegetables in sections on a large board or platter.
03 - Place dips in small bowls and position them on the board.
04 - Add cheese cubes, mozzarella balls, and sliced cheese in clusters around the board.
05 - Fill remaining spaces with crackers, roasted nuts, olives, and dried fruits.
06 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means you can throw it together while your coffee is still warm.
  • Everyone gets to build their own flavor combinations, so there's no negotiating about what goes on the plate.
  • It looks impressive enough for company but casual enough for a Tuesday lunch by yourself.
02 -
  • Cut your vegetables the day you serve the board, not the night before, or they'll get weepy and sad by lunchtime.
  • The dips need to be cold when you serve the board; warm dip has a way of making everything feel a little off.
03 -
  • Use a wooden board with a slight lip or edge—it keeps everything from rolling off and looks nicer than a flat platter.
  • Arrange heavier items like cheese first, then build around them with lighter vegetables so the visual weight feels balanced.
