Ingredients:
- Assorted Cheeses: Choose a selection of your favourites, like creamy brie, tangy cheddar, and crumbly feta. Aim for a variety of textures and flavours.
- Deli Meats: Opt for a mix of cured meats such as prosciutto, salami, and sliced ham. These will add a savoury touch to your platter.
- Crackers, Pretzels and Breadsticks: Include an assortment of crispy crackers and crunchy breadsticks for that satisfying crunch.
- Fresh Fruits: Slice up some juicy grapes, crisp apple wedges, and sweet strawberries. The burst of fruity flavours will balance the richness of the cheeses and meats.
- Nuts: Add a handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for a delightful nutty crunch.
- Dips and Spreads: Offer a selection of dips and spreads like hummus, tzatziki, or a tangy tomato chutney to add a burst of flavour to every bite.
- Olives: A bowl of marinated olives, whether green, black, or stuffed with goodies, will bring some briny goodness to the platter.
- Fresh Herbs: Garnish your platter with sprigs of fresh herbs like rosemary or basil for an aromatic touch.
Method:
- Prepare a large platter or wooden board to display your tasty creation. You can include decorative touches like colourful cocktail napkins and small bowls for dips.
- Start by arranging your bowls of dips slightly off-center in the middle of the platter for easy dipping access and to anchor your design.
- Next, place the cheeses in piles across the platter. Slice some, cube others, and let your creativity guide you. Remember, this is all about playful presentation!
- Place the deli meats next to the cheeses, rolling or folding them into petal shapes.
- Fill the gaps with an array of crackers, pretzels and breadsticks, creating inviting paths to explore on your platter.
- Add pops of vibrant colour by arranging the fresh fruit around the board, again filling any gaps.
- Scatter the nuts and olives across the platter for textural contrast and bursts of flavour.
- Finally, use sprigs of fresh herbs to fill every last gap and add a fragrant touch with a splash of green.
