Instructions

  • Add Fruits and Vegetables: Scatter fresh produce around the board for color and contrast.
  • Incorporate Meats and Cheese: Add last, folding or rolling meats for presentation; place cheese in small dishes or as blocks.
  • Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh herbs for aroma and color. Add serving utensils and a small knife for the cheese.

Notes

  • Make Ahead Tips: Assemble without crackers to prevent sogginess; cover with plastic wrap. Store prepped fruits, veggies, meats, and cheese in airtight containers if preparing a day ahead.
  • Vegan Alternatives: Easily substitute with vegan cheeses and plant-based proteins. Ensure dips and jams are gluten-free and celiac-safe by checking labels.
  • Kid-Friendly Additions: Include plain crackers, mild cheeses, and simple dips to cater to younger guests.
  • Storage: Wrap leftover cheese and meats tightly; store dips, jams, and produce in separate airtight containers in the fridge.
