Notes

Choose a variety of colors and textures for a visually appealing box. Feel free to mix and match your favorite cheeses and meats. Use small cookie cutters to create fun shapes with cheese or crackers. Don’t overload the box; keep a balance of each component. Add a small note with cheese or fruit pairings for an extra touch. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to two days. Keep the fruit and cheese separate if possible to maintain freshness.
