Instructions

  1. Choose your largest bowl to anchor the platter in the center. I use it for marinated artichokes. Place other small bowls for olives, nuts, and jam around the platter to give you a beginning structure.
  2. Place cheeses that need to be sliced or cut around the edges for easy access. Next add your meats. I fan out slices of salami, and drop delicate prosciutto into loose folds. For hard salami I pre-slice half of the log and fan the slices out attractively.
  3. Make sure you've left space for bread or crackers. Usually I plan to refill these, or place a separate basket or refills nearby. Unless you have an enormous platter you likely won't have enough room for all the bread and crackers you'll need.
  4. Fill in remaining spaces with fruit, keeping color balance in mind. For maximum impact place color opposites together, i.e. green olives next to roasted red peppers, or blue grapes next to orange cheddar cheese.
  5. Now you can garnish with sprigs of fresh herbs or edible flowers if you like, and if there is room on your platter.

Notes

  • For an appetizer allow 2 ounces of cheese per person.
