# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • It's ready in 20 minutes with zero cooking required—perfect for when you want something impressive without the stress
  • Every bite is nutrient-dense protein, healthy fat, and fresh vegetables that actually taste like themselves
  • The visual presentation is so stunning that guests don't realize they're eating keto-friendly food until you mention it
  • It's endlessly customizable based on what you have on hand or what you're craving that day
02 -
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think—let your cheeses sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before plating so they're creamy and flavorful rather than cold and muted
  • The order of assembly is everything. If you place vegetables first, you'll end up rearranging constantly. Start with proteins and cheese, then fill gaps—it saves time and frustration
  • A slightly damp paper towel under your platter prevents it from sliding around while you work, and prevents your beautiful creation from ending up in someone's lap
03 -
  • Freeze your platter for 10 minutes before final assembly if your kitchen is warm—this keeps meats from sweating and cheese from softening too much
  • Slice everything fresh the day-of or the morning-of rather than days ahead. Even with proper storage, there's something about ingredients at their prime that elevates everything
  • If you want to make this a true showstopper, add a small ramekin of herbed cream cheese or a quality aioli for dipping—it transforms the entire experience
