Charcuterie Board Dip Presentation Tips
When it comes to dips, it’s not just about flavor—it’s about presentation too! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve them:
- Use mini ramekins, jars, or tiny bowls for an eclectic and fun look.
- Add a touch of color with fresh herbs, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil on top.
- Give dips some height by placing bowls on small risers or mini cake stands—it creates a more dynamic spread!
- Want a rustic vibe? Try using vintage spoons or small wooden scoops to serve.
