Notes
Assemble the board just before serving to keep fruit fresh and vibrant. Store cut fruit covered in the fridge if prepping ahead and assemble last minute. Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. For dairy-free options, substitute cheeses with plant-based alternatives. Optional savory additions like prosciutto or smoked salmon add a nice balance.
