# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that requires zero cooking skills and minimal prep—just beautiful arrangement and fresh ingredients.
  • Your guests won't believe you made something this Instagram-worthy in your own kitchen, and it takes less time than ordering a catered board.
  • It's naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and feels special without being fussy or pretentious about dietary needs.
02 -
  • Assemble this no more than 2 hours before serving. Kiwis and cut vegetables start to weep and lose their crispness if left too long, and you want that fresh, just-made quality when guests arrive.
  • Pat your grapes completely dry before arranging. Wet fruit slides around and won't hold its position, making the whole board look chaotic instead of intentional.
  • Keep your mozzarella balls in the fridge until the last possible moment. They'll hold their shape better and stay creamy if they're cold when served.
03 -
  • Use a triangular wooden board if you can find one—it makes the tree concept instantly obvious to guests and photographs beautifully from above, which matters if you're sharing this moment online or with friends later.
  • Keep all your components as cold as possible until the moment of assembly. Chill the board itself in the freezer for 15 minutes before you start. Cold ingredients hold their shape, look crisper, and taste fresher throughout the party.
