Building a Board

Pickles, Olives, Nuts: Try salty additions served in small bowls throughout the board to add dimension.

Fruits and Vegetables: Dried fruit and fresh berries or grapes add color. Cut vegetables like sugar snap peas, radishes, and carrots add color and crunch, and are great dipping.

Bread and Crackers: Use a variety of crackers with different textures and tastes, pretzels, or thinly sliced baguettes.

Dips: We think our dips are truly the life of the platter. Try 1-2 to create some flavor punch and include a small spoon in each for scooping.

Cheese: 1 or 2 oz per person. Tip: cut and bag hard cheese ahead of time and put out in "waves" if you are entertaining, to keep it fresh.

Meats: About 3-4 slices of thinly sliced meat per person.
