- Add the crackers and meats: Next, place your crackers and meats around your cheese. Make piles or fan them out.
- Arrange the fruit, nuts, and other bites: Start with larger items like grapes and other fruit, placing them around the board. Next add smaller items like nuts, olives, and dried fruits to fill in the space.

Notes
- If you are making this platter ahead of time, arrange everything but leave off the crackers and breads, leaving space to add them before serving. Cover and refrigerate up to overnight. When ready to serve, add on the crackers and bread.
