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.
