Ingredients
5 cups sturdy tortilla chips
3 cups kettle-cooked potato chips
2 cups pita chips or corn chips
1 1/2 cups prepared guacamole
1 cup sour cream or ranch dip
1 cup Greek yogurt dip
8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
1 cup pitted black olives
1 cup mixed olives (such as Kalamata)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 medium English cucumber, sliced into rounds
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
4 ounces prosciutto or thinly sliced cured meat
2 limes, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons sliced green onions or chives
2 tablespoons cooked bacon crumbles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
1. Arrange three small bowls on a large wooden board or platter and fill them with the guacamole, sour cream or ranch dip, and Greek yogurt dip. Smooth the tops so they look fresh and inviting.
2. Prepare the fresh ingredients by slicing the cucumber into rounds, halving the strawberries, rinsing and drying the cherry tomatoes, and cutting the limes into wedges. Chop the green onions or chives, crumble the cooked bacon, and finely chop the cilantro or parsley.
3. Pour the tortilla chips, kettle-cooked potato chips, and pita or corn chips onto the board around the dip bowls, gently tucking and stacking them so they look full and slightly overflowing. Keep the sturdiest chips closest to the thicker dips and guacamole.
4. Add the cheddar cheese cubes in small clusters around the board, then roll or loosely fold the prosciutto or cured meat slices and tuck them between the chips and dips to create texture and height.
5. Fill in open spaces with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and strawberry halves, alternating colors and textures so the board looks balanced and vibrant from every angle.
6. Sprinkle the green onions or chives, bacon crumbles, and chopped cilantro or parsley over the dips and guacamole, then nestle the lime wedges along the edges of the board or next to the guacamole. Serve immediately, or cover loosely and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before guests arrive.
Notes
Use sturdy, thick-cut chips and tortilla scoops so they don’t break under heavier dips like guacamole or cheesy spreads—thin chips tend to crumble and can make the board messy quickly.
