Notes
*Fruit that works really well includes any dried fruit, sliced pears or apples, berries, and grapes. Vegetables such as English cucumber, sliced zucchini (raw), red bell pepper, or snap peas work well.
**Try any variety of nuts, olives, or dried fruit. If not using meat, add two varieties of nuts and consider a hummus or roasted chickpea.
***The salty foods, crackers, cheese, and spreads/dips can be made and plated 24 hours in advance. Plate and cover them with plastic wrap.
