- Choose a large wooden board or marble slab as your base.
- Place small bowls for olives, pickles, and spreads first to anchor your layout.
- Arrange cured meats like prosciutto and salami in gentle folds for volume and texture.
- Add cheese slices and cubes across the board to create balance and contrast.
- Fill empty spots with vegetables, fruits, and nuts to add color and flavor.
- Place crackers, baguette slices, or focaccia around the edges for easy grabbing.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and optional rosemary sprigs before serving.

Notes
To make it festive, add rosemary sprigs and cranberries for a holiday touch. For vegetarian options, skip the meats and double up on grilled vegetables and marinated artichokes. Best served with crusty bread and sparkling wine.
