Step-by-Step Instructions

Note, if some participants have dietary requirements and are vegetarian or vegan please set aside a dedicated platter that caters for them and adjust the contents accordingly!

1 /

Build a green base using your spinach - sprinkle it across the platters, for that extra touch turn the spinach leaves the right way up! 

2 /

Start with the dips, divvy out the dips into half the bowls

3 /

Next, fill the remaining bowls with pickles and place both the bowls of dip and pickles around your platters

4 /

Add on your fruit/berries, such as strawberries, cherries, grapes - whatever is in season, clustering them around your board

5 /

Now start laying out your cheese, cut it at an angle into asymmetrical pieces and lay them around your board - make sure you have a small piece of each and not just one large piece of a single kind

6 /

Next is your meat, tear the prosciutto, construct it into little twisted piles - then move onto salami etc in a similar way

7 /

If you have freshly baked bread cut up a bit of the bread and add it to the board

8 /

Add in a variety of crackers for colour and texture, stand them nicely - don’t give up on the details just yet!

9 /

We’re almost done and soon you can eat! Sprinkle the nuts, or anything else that’s still left over to fill all gaps

10 /

Dig into the platter while you taste...

& enjoy :)
