# Ingredient List:

→ Dips

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - On a large serving platter or shallow bowl, place spoonfuls of each dip in a random pattern, alternating colors to enhance visual contrast.
02 - Use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to gently swirl the dips together, forming a marbled, stone-like appearance without overmixing.
03 - Drizzle several spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt over the dips, swirling lightly to create additional marble lines.
04 - Place the assorted crackers in groups around the platter’s perimeter, echoing the colors of the dips for a coordinated presentation.
05 - Present immediately with small spoons or spreaders for guests to enjoy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent three hours when you actually spent twenty minutes.
  • Every dip flavor is there, so everyone finds something they actually want to eat.
  • You can prep it an hour ahead and just garnish right before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Buy your dips from places that take color seriously—pale hummus won't give you that visual impact, so taste a sample if you can.
  • Swirl gently and stop when it looks good, because overmixing will turn your marble into mud, and there's no fixing that.
03 -
  • Keep everything cold until the moment you serve—warm dips lose their color intensity and start to look tired.
  • The secret is using a shallow vessel; depth makes the marble effect disappear, so go wide and shallow every time.
