Description
This holiday snack board features a round cheese as the base for Santa's face with cheese shaped into hair and mustache. Mozzarella balls form the beard, with cherry tomato for the nose and sliced black olives for eyes. Strawberries line the top to create the red hat, contrasted with blueberries and grapes placed on the board to fill space and add freshness.
Accompanying the design are cured meats including ham and pepperoni, nuts like almonds and pistachios, olives with chili, and a small bowl of honey for dipping. The combination offers varied textures and flavors, from creamy and salty to sweet and tart.
