Ingredients
  

  • 2 or more different types of cheeses (different colors and textures work best)
  • 2 or more different types of crackers
  • 2 or more different types of meats
  • 2 or more different fruits

Instructions
 

  • Start with the crackers. Lay them on the board in an S shape so that the whole board has crackers from end to end. Use some from each type of cracker.
  • Next, place the fruit in groups near the crackers. For fruits that may bleed or juice, place them in a small bowl on the board. For grapes, cut them into small groups of 3 or 4 before placing them in clusters on the board.
  • After the fruit, place the meats on the board near the fruit. If you're using a long thin meat like prosciutto, roll it so that it's smaller. If you're using large pieces of salami, you can fold them in half and then fold them in half again and then cluster them on the board like flowers.
  • Lastly, fill in the rest of the board with sliced, cubed or chunks of different cheeses.
