Start by cutting up all the cheese. Keep the pieces bite-sized to best fit on the board. For the brie (or other soft cheeses), just put the wedge on the board and include a cheese knife (love this set) so guests can slice off their own.
Next, add the meat. Meats like prosciutto, salami, or turkey are popular. You can use what you prefer, and what your guests will like!
Add the light sides next, like a selection of olives, veggies for dipping, and hummus. Serve these sides in small ramekins to keep them from making a mess!
Next, add the snacks. Fresh fruit and dried fruit like grapes, raspberries, strawberries, raisins, dried cranberries, and dried apricots add color to the board.
Crackers come next. I used raisin rosemary crisps and multigrain pita chips. Other popular options are pretzel chips, Ritz crackers, or saltines. There are many options to include!
Fill in the gaps between the main features with small additions like nuts. My favorites are almonds, candied pecans, and pistachios.
Arrange your board however you think looks appetizing and presentable! Include your favorite treats and a great variety of options for all your guests.
