04 - Position dips, cheeses, and accompaniments in small bowls or tucked neatly among their corresponding colors.
05 - Fill any empty spaces with extra fruits, vegetables, or crackers to create a lush, overflowing appearance.
06 - Present immediately to showcase the vibrant rainbow display and enjoy.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's a show-stopper that requires no cooking, just thoughtful arranging and a bit of creativity
  • Every guest finds something they love, from fresh fruits to creamy cheeses and crunchy veggies
  • The visual impact tells a story of celebration that people will photograph and remember long after the party ends
02 -
  • Prep everything just before serving—this isn't a board you can make hours in advance. Berries will weep, vegetables will wilt, and your rainbow will lose its vibrant edge. The magic is in the moment.
  • Don't stress about perfection. A rainbow board isn't about rigid lines; it's about the intention behind the arrangement. Some of the most stunning boards I've seen had colors that gently bled into one another, and that's exactly right.
03 -
  • Shop for color as your primary ingredient, not the other way around. Walk through the produce section and ask 'What's the most brilliant red I can find?' rather than buying what's on your list.
  • Use an odd number of items in each color section—three reds, five oranges, three greens—the repetition creates visual rhythm without feeling mathematical.
