Notes

Use a variety of colors to make the board visually appealing. You can switch up the dips to keep things exciting; salsa or yogurt dip can also be good choices. If you have leftovers, store each type of food separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Sliced fruits can brown quickly, so it’s best to consume them soon after making the board. Most ingredients stay fresh for a couple of days, but it’s always best to prepare the board fresh whenever possible.
