# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking and comes together in less time than it takes to pour a drink.
  • You get to eat exactly what you want without committing to a full meal, making it perfect for when you're indecisive.
  • It looks intentional and beautiful on the table, even though it's honestly just organized snacking.
02 -
  • Bring your cheeses out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving—they taste infinitely better when they're not ice-cold.
  • Slice your apple right before assembling and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a subtle brightness.
03 -
  • Odd numbers of each ingredient create visual interest—three cheeses feels better on the eye than four.
  • Leave some empty space on your board; fullness doesn't mean better, and negative space makes the arrangement feel intentional instead of crowded.
