Start by placing a variety of seasonal cheese on a wooden platter. Aldi makes a good cranberry cheddar!
Include:
- 1 hard cheese
- 1 soft cheese
- 1 blue cheese
Add red and green accompaniments, such as:
- green olives
- strawberry jam
- charcuterie such as salami or prosciutto
- peppadew peppers
Arrange a variety of crackers on the board (fan them out).
I like using a box of entertaining crackers for the variety.
Fill in the larger holes with red fruit (such as strawberries and raspberries).
Then, fill in the smaller holes with almonds or other nuts.
You can find seasonal cheeses at Aldi, Trader Joe's, or your local grocery store.
Look for varieties like cranberry stilton or cheddar, blueberry vodka cheddar, and lemon ricotta.
