# Expert Hints:

01 -

It looks impressive enough to make guests think you spent hours in the kitchen when you really spent twenty minutes.
No cooking means no stress, just creative assembly and the satisfaction of a beautiful board that tastes as good as it looks.
It's naturally gluten-free and low-carb, so you're not sacrificing flavor while being thoughtful about dietary preferences.

02 -

Ask your deli counter to slice everything thin but not paper-thin, and have them stack each type of meat and cheese separately so you can cut perfect squares without frustration.
Chill your board for fifteen minutes before serving if your kitchen is warm, because cold meats and cheeses hold their shape better and feel fresher to the bite.
