Instructions
- Start with bowls: Place small bowls for dips and olives first. This creates a structure for arranging other ingredients around them.
- Layer large items: Add larger fruits and veggies (like cucumber slices, apple wedges, and broccolini) around the bowls.
- Fill in with smaller items: Nestle in smaller pieces like grapes, kiwi slices, and nuts, filling any gaps for a full, abundant look.
- Add contrast & height: Stack some items (like crackers) and scatter small clusters of nuts and herbs to create depth.
- Final touches: Sprinkle with fresh herbs (basil, mint, or parsley) for an extra pop of color and a fragrant touch.
