Ingredients

Instructions
- Add any bowls or plates you may be using to hold your food to your board. It’s easier to build around these vessels than trying to fit them in afterwards.
- Add your cheese and meat. These are the main components (plus they’re often the largest items on your board).
- Add your larger snack items such as fruit, olives, and pickles.
- Finally, fill in the gaps with smaller snack items such as nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate.
- If there’s room on the board, add your crackers or crostini. If not, serve them on the side.
Notes
- Adjust quantities based on the number of servings needed.
- Choose a variety of textures and flavors for interest.
- Consider seasonal fruits for freshness.
