Instructions
-
Make the Herb Yogurt Dip
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Stir well and chill while you prep the board. -
Prepare the Board Base
Place a large platter or board on your counter. Set small bowls of hummus and yogurt dip on the board first—these act as anchors. -
Arrange in Clusters
Add fruits and vegetables in grouped piles rather than spreading them out. Cluster strawberries, grapes, cucumbers, carrots, and peppers separately for a full, colorful look. -
Add Protein
Arrange the halved hard-boiled eggs near the dips. -
Fill the Gaps
Scatter nuts, seeds, or crackers into any open spaces. Garnish with extra herbs if you like. -
Serve Immediately
Keep chilled until serving and enjoy within a couple of hours for best freshness.
Notes
-
Think color: Use at least 4–5 different colors of produce for a festive look.
-
Cut thin: Slim slices make dipping easier and reduce mess.
-
Prep ahead: Chop veggies and make dips up to 1 day in advance; assemble shortly before serving.
-
Nut-free option: Swap nuts for roasted chickpeas or pretzels.
-
Extra fun: Use small cookie cutters to shape cucumbers or cheese into spring shapes.
