The secret behind an 'insta-worthy' grazing platter

The silly season is well and truly here which means many of us will be entertaining for friends and family.

A new trend that's taken off online is these impressive and abundant grazing platters, and the good news is it's not hard to put one together at home.

There are a few elements every good grazing board should have:

+ A selection of cheeses (one hard, one soft, one stinky)

+ An array of dips

+ Fresh and dried seasonal fruits

+ Cold cut meats

+ Olives

+ Vegetables

+ Nuts

+ Flowers

The key to putting together a beautiful board is firstly choosing the brightest, and most beautiful produce.

In terms of layering, start with the cheeses and dups and build outwards with fruit, crackers and fillers like flowers and foliage.

Cheaper fillers such as seasonal fruits, bread, crackers and foliage can help to keep costs low.

And if this season has already got the better of you, never fear! You can purchase one pre made with Grazing by Rukus. Email rukuscafe@gmail.com
