Instructions
Start by washing and drying all of the fruits and vegetables.
Slice the cheeses, meats, and bread into bite-sized pieces.
Portion the small items, nuts, dips, and spreads, in small bowls or ramekins.
Prepare a large wooden board, countertop, or a long table covered in parchment or butcher paper.
Begin by arranging the bowls of dips, spreads, and garnishes at varying points around the surface.
Scatter cheeses around the board, balancing the types for both visual appeal and accessibility. Surround them with your selection of meats, fanning out slices or rolling them for presentation.
Place the crackers and breadsticks around the board in clusters, making sure they’re easily reachable.
Tuck fruits and vegetables into gaps between the cheese and meats, grouping similar colors and textures for a balanced look.
Sprinkle the nuts and small extras like chocolate squares in the remaining gaps.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a final touch.
Notes
The grazing table can remain out for the duration of your event, so guests can help themselves throughout.
