# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes about twenty minutes from start to table, so you can actually enjoy your guests instead of sweating in the kitchen.
  • Every vegetable stays crisp and snappy because you're serving it raw, and the herb dip tastes like spring tastes—bright, green, and a little bit grassy in the best way.
  • You can prep everything hours ahead and just arrange it when people arrive, which means zero stress.
02 -
  • The dip is actually better made a few hours ahead or even the night before—the flavors meld together and taste more cohesive, which is the opposite of what people assume about fresh herbs.
  • Don't skip patting the vegetables dry after washing, because water on the board makes it look sad and causes things to slide around, but also creates a safety issue for anyone standing nearby.
03 -
  • Keep everything cold by chilling your board in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes before arranging vegetables on it—they'll stay crisp longer.
  • Make extra dip because people always want more, and it keeps perfectly for two days so you'll have snacking material for yourself.
