# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when it actually took twenty minutes.
  • Every guest finds their favorite dip because you've given them flavors from mild to bold.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about watching people's eyes light up when they see the marbled surface.
02 -
  • Do not over-swirl or you'll end up with a muddy brownish disaster instead of distinct colors; less is always more with the knife work.
  • If your dips are cold from the fridge, they'll hold their swirls better and won't blur together as you work.
03 -
  • Keep your platter cold in the fridge for ten minutes before assembling—a warm platter will soften the dips and ruin your swirls.
  • The marble effect works best when each dip is a distinctly different color, so choose your dips strategically rather than defaulting to whatever's in your pantry.
