Method
The best platters are bursting with multiple combinations of textures and flavours to satisfy the diverse tastes of your guests. Salty and sweet, creamy and crunchy, hot and cold – these different combos make for an aesthetically pleasing and delectable arrangement.
Want to create the perfect platter? Tick all the boxes on this checklist and you will:
- Anchor with a protein – wood roasted and cold smoked salmon elevate your platter and give guests a divine melt-in-your-mouth dining experience.
- Choose an assortment of your favourite crackers – we love seed-based crackers that give an extra crunch.
- Select 1 to 2 cheeses, hard or soft – we’ve chosen brie, it’s a classic.
- Include a dip or sauce – we’ve chosen an avocado hummus to complement our cheese selection.
- Arrange a variety of fruits and veggies – grapes, blueberries and cherry tomatoes are perfect for large gatherings and strawberries and kiwifruit bring a pop of gorgeous colour.
- Detail with something salty – add a salty or briny element like olives and nuts to bring balance to your platter.
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary – this extra touch just makes your platter look all the more appetising!
