2.     Arrangement

·      Kick things off with dips and cheese: they’re the stars of the show. Soft cheeses like Brie can be placed in the center, surrounded by the harder cheeses and blue. Play with textures by slicing some cheeses and leaving others whole! Next up, artfully place your dips, crackers, and meats to create a visually appealing arrangement. 

3.     Fruit & Vege Accents

·      Space out the vibrant fruits out among the platter, grapes can be grouped in clusters and fanning out sliced fruit for a textured effect. Add a touch of color with your remaining veggies!

4.     Nuts and Extras

·      Sprinkle the remaining extras - nuts, popcorn, choccy around the plater for textural contrast.  

5.     Presentation, Presentation!

·      Bring your platter to life by sprinkling fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme over the platter. You could also add flowers from the garden for a pop of color!
