# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that takes barely any cooking time—just twenty minutes from start to table
  • Perfect for feeding a crowd while keeping everyone happy, whether they eat dairy, gluten, or just want something light and fresh
  • Kids become instant artists when they help arrange the colors, turning snack time into memory time
02 -
  • Drain your cottage cheese thoroughly—watery filling will make everything soggy and ruin the visual impact. I learned this the hard way after my first attempt looked more like a puddle than a bunny.
  • Prepare all your ingredients in separate bowls before you start arranging. This prevents you from getting halfway through and realizing you forgot to slice the eggs or dice the watermelon, which breaks your creative flow.
03 -
  • If ingredients start sliding during assembly, dab the platter lightly with a paper towel to remove any moisture—it acts like an anchor for everything you place on top
  • The olive outline should be thick enough that you can see it clearly from across the table; a thin line looks accidental, while a confident outline looks intentional and charming
