There’s something so satisfying about setting out a beautiful snack board, especially when you want something easy but still a little bit special.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed a quick appetizer for girlfriends dropping by or a casual family movie night, and this Green Snack Board has saved me every single time.

If you’ve ever stared into your fridge wondering how to pull together something fresh, colorful, and crowd-pleasing without turning on the oven for hours, you’re in exactly the right place.

Green Snack Board - Green themed snack board and party tray with homemade garlic bread and guacamole dip, dried chives covered potato chips, fresh cucumbers, mini pickles, olives, pistachios, crunchy wasabi coated peanuts, and green grapes.

This simple board is vibrant, fun, and full of texture – and I’ll walk you through making it look effortlessly gorgeous.

How To Make This Green Snack Board

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

A handful of chips of your choice
Dried parsley or chives
Guacamole dip, homemade or store-bought
½ small English cucumber
½ pound green grapes
Garlic bread, homemade or store-bought
Mini pickles
Green olives
Crunchy wasabi-coated peanuts
Pistachio nuts

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose one end of your serving board and create a small, slightly messy pile of chips. I like to let them fall naturally rather than stacking them too neatly – it gives that relaxed, abundant look that makes snack boards feel inviting. Once they’re in place, lightly sprinkle dried parsley or chives over the top to give them a pop of green.

2.Spoon your guacamole into a small bowl and place it in the center of the board right next to the chips. This acts as your anchor – visually and practically. Keeping it near the chips makes dipping easy and keeps the layout feeling intentional.

3. Slice half of the English cucumber into thin rounds. Arrange the slices in a slightly overlapping row along one side of the top portion of the board. The crisp, fresh look of cucumber instantly brightens everything up.

4. Place a generous cluster of green grapes on the opposite side of the top section of the board. Let them stay on the stem for that beautiful, organic look. Then arrange a few slices of garlic bread along the very top edge, fanning them slightly so they’re easy to grab.

5. Now, look at the empty spaces between the guacamole bowl and the garlic bread. Fill those gaps with small piles of mini pickles and green olives. Don’t overthink it – snack boards look best when they feel abundant and natural.

6. Add a small handful of wasabi-coated peanuts on one side of the guacamole bowl and a handful of pistachios on the other. These final touches balance the board and add that irresistible crunchy texture that keeps everyone coming back for “just one more handful.”

Important Recipe Notes

The board I used measures 13×8 inches, which works beautifully for serving three people. If you’re hosting a larger gathering, simply use a bigger tray and increase the ingredient amounts accordingly.
Keep in mind that the size and shape of your serving tray will influence where everything fits. A long, narrow board works wonderfully for creating visual sections from one end to the other.
For this board, I used chives and sour cream flavored chips and sprinkled them with dried herbs to give them an extra green boost. If you happen to find naturally green chips, that would make this board even more fun and festive!
