# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that sits on the table looking like edible art, and your guests will take photos before they eat
  • Zero cooking required means you can spend game day actually watching, not stressed in the kitchen
  • Every element is customizable based on what you have, so it works whether you're feeding a crowd or just a few friends
  • The flavor combinations hit every craving—creamy, crunchy, fresh, salty—all in one board
02 -
  • Don't assemble this more than an hour before serving. The guac will oxidize and the herbs will wilt. Freshness is everything with this board.
  • If you're using store-bought guacamole, taste it before you spread it. Some brands are saltier than others, and that changes how you approach the whole balance of flavors.
03 -
  • Use pimento-stuffed olives or halved cherry tomatoes to represent footballs or players—it's a small touch that makes people smile
  • If you don't have string cheese, use a vegetable peeler on a block of white cheese to create thin, elegant strips that look more sophisticated than you'd expect
