What You’ll Need:

  • A good-sized board (wooden is ideal)
  • Small bowls and/or plates
  • A variety of colorful fruits
  • Dips
  • Olives
  • Cheese (at least 3-4 types)
  • Cold meats in different shapes and sizes
  • Crackers, biscuits, or bread sticks
  • Small fruits, nuts, grapes, dates, and dried fruit to fill gaps
  • Condiments (honey, jams, mustards, chutneys)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Choose Your Board & Small Bowls

Start with a large board, preferably wooden. Arrange small bowls or plates on the board to add height and variety. This creates a base to build around.

Step 2: Add Your Fruit

Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces and place them at either end of the board. This frames your board and adds vibrant color.

Step 3: Add Dips & Olives

Select colorful and popular dips. Guacamole and tzatziki are always hits. Include a variety of olives (green, black, marinated) to add variety and flavor.

Step 4: Add Your Cheeses

Choose at least 3-4 different cheeses to provide a range of tastes and textures. Cutting into the cheese, like a brie, gives it a rustic look and encourages guests to dive in.

Step 5: Add Your Cold Meats

Opt for salami, ham, and kabana as a base. You can also include smoked salmon or prosciutto. Ask your deli for thin slices that can be rolled or folded easily.

Step 6: Add Your Crackers

Fill in any gaps with crackers, biscuits, or bread sticks. You can place them in bowls or arrange them creatively on the board.

Step 7: Arrange Condiments

Condiments add an extra layer of flavor to your grazing board. Use small bowls or jars for honey, jams, mustards, and chutneys. Place these near the cheeses and meats for easy pairing.

Step 8: Add Your Fillers

Use small, colorful items like strawberries, grapes, nuts, and dried fruits to fill in the remaining gaps. These fillers add the final touch to make your board look abundant and inviting.
