# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours planning when it actually takes about twenty minutes, giving you back time to enjoy your guests instead of stressing in the kitchen.
  • Every person at the table will find a flavor they love since you're offering five completely different dips in one stunning presentation.
  • The visual impact is so striking that people photograph it before they eat it, which means your effort gets celebrated twice.
02 -
  • The moment you start overmixing is the moment your beautiful marbled effect becomes a murky khaki color, so watch yourself and stop swirling the second it starts looking too blended.
  • Buy pre-made hummus varieties from the grocery store instead of making your own—this is not the dish to prove your cooking chops, it's the dish to look effortless while actually being effortless.
03 -
  • Chill your platter in the fridge for five minutes before adding the dips so they stay vibrant and separated rather than warming into each other under room temperature lights.
  • If you're making this more than a few hours ahead, cover it loosely with plastic wrap and keep it refrigerated, but always let it come to room temperature for about ten minutes before serving so the flavors wake up.
