Ingredients
The Savory Side
- Wings: Because no party spread is complete without them. A classic buffalo sauce and a honey garlic option so everyone’s happy.
- Sliders: Mini and mighty. These little guys disappear faster than any other thing on a board every single time.
- Cheese Dip: Creamy, melty, totally addictive. Use Hiland Dairy Sour Cream as the base for tangy richness.
- Hiland French Onion Dip: Thick, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with the veggies and chips.
- Guacamole: Fresh, chunky, and a must on any board in this house.
- Salsa: Classic red salsa for all the chip-dipping needs.
- Fresh Veggies: Carrots, celery, cucumbers, bell pepper strips. The thing that makes everyone feel slightly better about eating everything else on the board.
- Assorted Cheeses: A good mix of textures and flavors. Think sharp cheddar, pepper jack, and a creamy gouda.
The Sweet Side
- Fresh Strawberries: Bright, juicy, and they make the board look gorgeous. Also a great palate cleanser between the savory bites.
- Brownies: Fudgy, rich, and cut into small squares so they’re easy to grab.
- Cookies: They’re universally loved.
- Donuts: Mini chocolate donuts to keep it fun and festive.
Hiland Dairy Indy 500® Milk Bottles
- They’re not just for decoration: cold milk and ready to drink, exactly like the winner’s circle tradition. It’s a fun detail that your guests will love!
Directions
- Start with your anchors: Place the milk bottles, any bowls, and ramekins first before filling in around them. This keeps things from getting crowded.
- Work in zones: Keep sweet on one end, savory on the other, and let the veggies and dips live in the middle as the connector.
- Use height: Stack brownies, prop up the sliders, and lean the cheese against things. A flat board looks less impressive than one with dimension.
- Fill every gap: Tuck strawberries and mini cookies into all the empty spaces. It should look abundant and overflowing—that’s the goal.
- Make it easy to eat: Everything should be finger-food friendly or easy to grab with a small plate. Nobody wants to wrestle with their snacks while watching the race.
