How to make a deli plate

In most cases, wooden cutting boards are used. The rustic appearance of the wood really helps to bring a beautiful feeling to the whole dish. The standard cutting board is about 9×13, but you can definitely use a smaller or larger cutting board depending on the size of the party. If you don’t have a wooden cutting board, you can use any flat service tray.

If you use any sauces or dips, put them in a small bowl or cup. Use different sized dishes to make different dips/sauces. If you have a bowl, place it in the center of the board. If you have 2 or more, place them evenly on the board. Now you can arrange other items around the bowl.

Next, put your meat and cheese on the board. Make sure there are equal numbers on each side of the board.

The meat should be pre-sliced ​​and can be rolled, folded or stacked. To make it easier to slice or cut the cheese in advance, but if you decide to put them together, be sure to prepare a small cheese knife.

Add biscuits, nuts, and produce in groups around the board. Again, make sure to include an even number of items on both sides of the board. Products will be your popular colors, so arrange them in a visually pleasing way.

You can arrange the items to have a pattern or symmetry, or you can make them look random. Decorate with vanilla or other leaves.

Make ahead + leftovers

Depending on the size of the pallet, you may need to prepare items in advance. Most items can be prepared and stored separately until you are ready to arrange the pallet.

Store extra items so that you can replenish the tray as you go through the night.

Leftovers can be stored in a separate container for later consumption.
