Step 5: Present the dips
Scoop the homemade dips into pretty bowls and place them on the snack board along with other snacks, vegetables, and bread. Make sure to present them attractively. Think about using different sizes and shapes of bowls, colorful vegetables like carrots and peppers, and different textures of bread like baguettes and crackers for dipping. You can also use garnishes like a sprig of fresh herbs or a pinch of paprika. The goal is to create an inviting and tasty presentation that invites you to dip and enjoy!
Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Serve the dips together with the snack platter and invite your guests to enjoy them. For example, dip a piece of cucumber in the hummus and combine this with a piece of cheese and a cherry tomato. Also try a piece of baguette with the tzatziki and some olives. Mix and match until you discover your favorite flavor combinations!
