# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent twenty minutes assembling pure elegance
  • Zero cooking required means you stay cool and collected while hosting
  • Every guest finds something they crave, whether they're strict keto or just keto-curious
  • The nutrient density means you're getting serious protein and healthy fats in every bite
02 -
  • Quality matters more than quantity here—one beautiful aged cheddar wedge beats a pile of mediocre cheese every single time. Buy from a proper cheesemonger if you can.
  • Arrange everything about thirty minutes before serving (not hours ahead) so meats stay fresh and vegetables stay crisp. This isn't a make-ahead dish; it's a moment.
  • The olive oil is not optional—it transforms your vegetables from simple sides into something people actually want to eat. Don't skip it.
03 -
  • Slice your meats and cheeses no more than two hours before serving to keep them fresh and flavorful—they're too good to sit around getting tired.
  • Keep your platter on the counter rather than the fridge until the moment you serve it; cold temperatures dull the complex flavors of quality meats and cheeses.
  • If you're adding dips, offer them in small bowls placed away from the platter so people can dip without dripping onto the beautiful arrangement.
