# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that doubles as a work of edible art—your guests will actually gasp when they see it.
  • Zero cooking required means you can spend your energy on presentation instead of stress, perfect for Pride events or any celebration where you want to look effortless.
  • Every color tells a story and offers different flavors, so there's something for everyone without anyone feeling left out.
02 -
  • Color separation is everything—don't let ingredients bleed into neighboring sections or your whole visual impact collapses. It feels more important than it sounds, but it's what makes this board unmistakably a rainbow and not just a colorful mess.
  • Prepare ingredients close to serving time. I made the mistake once of prepping hours ahead, and by the time guests arrived, the strawberries had darkened and the cucumber had gone soft. Ninety minutes before serving is your sweet spot.
03 -
  • Invest in a really good large board or platter—it's the stage for your rainbow, and a worn or cramped board diminishes the effect. A white ceramic platter or wooden board in a light finish will make colors absolutely sing.
  • Keep all your dips and accompaniments chilled until the last moment, then set them out just before serving. This keeps everything fresh and crisp, which is essential when you're relying so heavily on visual perfection.
