perfect platter tips
Casual entertaining is easy! Check out our prep tips for creating a crowd- pleasing spread that’s also Instagram-worthy.
• double up Avoid awkward reaches by setting
popular ingredients in more than one place so all hands can grab them easily.
• try a tray Think beyond wood and create your platter on other trays and food-safe surfaces for a fun and kid-friendly presentation.
• pile it up Arrange slippery items like smoked salmon in bundles to make it easier to grab a forkful.
• use utensils Include small spoons or knives with dips and spreads so everyone can take what they want—and won’t double dip!
MAKE IT EASY
• keep it crisp Keep wet foods like cornichons away from crackers and other foods that need to stay crisp and dry.
• Arrange mini pretzels, apple wedges, cut-up strawberries, bologna, and baby carrots on a platter.
• Add a bowl of hummus.
• visual feast Vary the colors, shapes, and textures of the foods on your platter to maximize visual appeal.
