# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent fifteen minutes.
  • Everyone at the table stops to admire it before they eat it, which honestly never gets old.
  • You can swap dips and crackers based on what's in your pantry, so it's never the same dish twice.
02 -
  • The biggest mistake is overmixing, which turns it into mud. Gentle swirls are everything—think less mixing, more suggesting the blend.
  • Don't assemble this more than an hour before serving or the dips start to dry at the edges and the colors mute slightly.
03 -
  • Cold dips work best—take them out of the fridge just before assembling so the swirls hold their shape and colors stay vibrant.
  • A white or pale platter isn't just prettier; it makes every color appear more saturated and true, turning your marble into something genuinely stunning.
