The best of the best all in one place.
Ingredients
3 or 4 kinds of cheese (at least one soft)
Dark chocolate
Olives
Marcona almonds or nuts
Some type of fruit- even just a touch of berries- blueberries or raspberries across the plate looks beautiful
Marinated peppers (usually by the olives at the grocery store)
Mini pickles
Some type of salami meat or prosciutto (check out Instagram for inspiration on making salami flowers)
Your favorite carb: crackers (grab gluten free to make this gluten free), baguette, toast points
Start with a really cool base - cutting board, plate or a baking sheet in whatever shape you’d like.
Position your cheese first, then your meats.
Use your crackers/baguette to fill in the holes
Sprinkle in the nuts, fruit and chocolate to finish it off
Other considerations to include:
Mini pumpkins for fall
For kids: use fruit, veggies, popcorn, goldfish or granola. Or give them each a theme with a veggie, fruit, meat and cheese and let them create their own.
Dessert board: think brownies, cookies, fruit, candy
