# Expert tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and your stress stays lower.
  • It impresses people in minutes, making you look like you spent hours in the kitchen when you barely spent twenty.
  • Naturally gluten-free and low carb, so it works for almost any guest or craving.
02 -
  • The vegetable peeler makes all the difference—a dull one will shred instead of ribbon, and the whole dish falls apart.
  • Don't over-season the cream cheese layer; the turkey is already salty and smoky, and you want the fresh vegetables to have room to shine.
03 -
  • If your knife is sharp and your vegetables are cold, the ribbons come out cleaner and more beautiful every time.
  • The toothpick is optional, but it gives you peace of mind when arranging them on a platter or moving them around—skip it if they're holding together naturally.
