Notes

  • Make Ahead Tips: Assemble without crackers to prevent sogginess; cover with plastic wrap. Store prepped fruits, veggies, meats, and cheese in airtight containers if preparing a day ahead.
  • Vegan Alternatives: Easily substitute with vegan cheeses and plant-based proteins. Ensure dips and jams are gluten-free and celiac-safe by checking labels.
  • Kid-Friendly Additions: Include plain crackers, mild cheeses, and simple dips to cater to younger guests.
  • Storage: Wrap leftover cheese and meats tightly; store dips, jams, and produce in separate airtight containers in the fridge.
