# How to Make It:

01 - Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Slice fruits and vegetables according to specifications, keeping pieces uniform in size for visual presentation.
02 - Transfer guacamole and cream cheese into small serving bowls. Position these bowls strategically on the board to serve as focal points and anchors for the arrangement.
03 - Organize fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and savory snacks around the dip bowls. Group items by color and texture to create visual cohesion and appeal.
04 - Distribute sweet treats and pistachios throughout empty spaces on the board, ensuring balanced distribution across all sections.
05 - Scatter fresh mint leaves across the board as decorative elements to enhance the festive St. Patrick's Day theme.
06 - Serve immediately alongside small plates and napkins to facilitate guest enjoyment.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you spend your energy on the fun part—making it look stunning and tasting as you go.
  • Everyone finds something they actually want to eat instead of picking around a cheese plate.
  • It feels fancy and intentional without requiring you to be fancy or intentional.
02 -
  • Prep your produce the morning of but don't slice it until an hour or two before serving—fruit oxidizes and vegetables wilt when they sit too long exposed.
  • Keep the board cold by chilling it in the fridge first or setting bowls of ice underneath if you're serving it somewhere warm.
03 -
  • Buy pre-prepped ingredients guilt-free; the assembly and arrangement are where your effort shines, not in chopping.
  • Toast or lightly warm the chocolate-dipped pretzels in the oven for five minutes right before adding them—the chocolate stays glossy and the pretzels stay crispy.
