# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Wash all fresh vegetables and fruits thoroughly under cool running water. Trim sugar snap peas, peel and slice kiwis, slice cucumbers into rounds, cut green bell peppers into strips, separate broccoli into florets, cut celery into sticks, and slice green apples. Pat dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture on the board.
02 - Prepare the herbed Greek yogurt dip by combining Greek yogurt with chopped fresh dill, fresh chives, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Transfer all three dips into separate small serving bowls. Position dip bowls in the center or at the corners of a large serving board or platter.
03 - Strategically arrange fresh vegetables, fruits, savory snacks, and sweets around the dips. Group similar colors and textures together to create visual appeal and easy navigation for guests. Create distinct sections for vegetables, fruits, salty snacks, and sweets.
04 - Distribute green candies, pistachios, and additional chips across any remaining empty spaces on the board. Ensure balanced visual distribution and maintain easy access to all items.
05 - Present the board immediately to guests, or cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. Provide small appetizer plates, napkins, and serving utensils for guests to select their desired items.
