Notes

  • Seasonal Variations: Feel free to adjust the fruits and garnishes based on the season and availability. For example, you can use oranges, pomegranates, or figs in the fall.

  • Dietary Considerations: Make sure to offer alternatives for dietary preferences, such as gluten-free crackers or vegan cheese for plant-based guests.

  • Storage: If preparing the board in advance, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
