  • Olives and pickled vegetables.
  • Nuts and seeds - Marcona almonds, pistachios, pecans or walnuts.
  • Vegan sliced cheddar cheese - I used an aged cheddar from Violife.
  • Vegan herbed feta, sliced and tossed with fresh thyme and olive oil. Violife feta cheese.
  • Yes, chocolate belongs on a cheese board. Hu salty chocolate bar is my favorite.

Notes

  1. Start with a platter or board. To start assembling, lay out all your ingredients and start with the largest pieces first. I clump the grapes together, then lay out the cheeses and bowls.
  2. Next, I line the sliced citrus, fill in with other fruit, vegetables, and nuts.
  3. If there is room, add any crackers or put them on the side. 
  4. Any open spaces get filled with herbs and florals.
