THREE ASSEMBLING TIPS
1.
Choose the Right Base: Select a board or platter
that provides space for your ingredients and
complements the overall aesthetic of the spread.
2.
Create Balance & Variety: Group similar items
together and vary textures and colors. Also,
include a mix of soft, crunchy, savory, and
sweet elements.
3.
Create Visual Interest: Layer and arrange items
at different angles or heights to create visual
interest. You can fold slices of prosciutto into
bundles or stack crackers for texture. You can
also use small bowls to add height.
