# Expert suggestions:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that requires zero cooking skills—perfect for anyone who wants to impress without breaking a sweat in the kitchen.
  • Every ingredient is fresh and naturally colorful, so your platter looks like edible art straight from a spring garden.
  • Kids and adults alike love the interactive element of picking and choosing their favorite textures and flavors with every bite.
02 -
  • Drain everything thoroughly before assembly. Watermelon juice, cottage cheese liquid, or anything wet will make your beautiful design look soggy and sad. Pat things dry with paper towels if you need to—it takes five extra minutes and changes everything.
  • Work cold from the start. Take your cottage cheese and mozzarella straight from the fridge, and chill your platter beforehand if possible. Cold ingredients hold their shape better and taste fresher when served.
03 -
  • Make the olive outline the day before and store it in a covered container in the fridge. Then assemble the fillings on the day of serving for maximum freshness and that just-made look.
  • If you're serving a crowd with dietary restrictions, this recipe is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free—just make sure your hummus and any crackers you serve meet those needs, and you're golden.
