HOW TO DECORATE A SNACK TRAY

For this pretty snack tray, I wanted to add things with a pop of color. That means that I took a few moments to decide on a color theme. I wanted to add light reds, pinks, orange/tans and a nice fresh pop of green. I love how it all came together. Here are my suggestions:

Choose a color theme.
Find snack board ingredients in those colors.
Look for fresh flowers that match your theme.
Add whole fruits and vegetables in your colors to the board in addition to sliced and edible versions where possible.

SNACK TRAY TIPS

Having seen snack boards and charcuterie ideas galore, the underlying theme is abundance. We want to create the appearance of endless options and a lot of food. You can do this by carefully selecting your ingredients and spreading them out as much as possible. Thinking of it as a centerpiece might be a handy tool to make this happen. Give it a little height with some flowers or standing/stacked food items.

Voila! I told you that was easy! It doesn't take much to put together a glorious snack tray that's hearty for lunch!
