# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that actually tastes amazing—green dips are fresher and more interesting than you'd expect
  • Everything can be prepped ahead, so you show up looking like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you just spent thirty minutes
  • Your guests eat better because they're too busy admiring the design to notice they're munching through a whole board of vegetables
  • It works for any skill level, whether you're a snack board pro or this is your first time arranging food like it matters
02 -
  • The moment you spread that green dip, protect it from browning by covering with plastic wrap until game time—I learned this after watching my carefully designed field turn brown around the edges
  • Room temperature is your friend; take this out about fifteen minutes before game time so the dips are soft enough to actually scoop with chips, not rock-hard
  • The sour cream lines will last longer and look cleaner than cheese strips, but if you mess up, you can smooth it over and try again—there's grace in this snack board
03 -
  • Make a template by laying out a measuring tape or using toothpicks to mark your yard lines before you start—this sounds extra, but it makes perfect spacing so much easier and faster
  • Keep a tiny bowl of extra sour cream nearby during the party to touch up any yard lines that get disrupted; it's like having a snack board first aid kit
