Instructions

Add Vegan Cheeses
Arrange your vegan cheeses spread out evenly across the board.
Cut vegan cheese blocks into slices or use presliced vegan cheese. For whole cheeses, cut a few slices to get them started. If you are serving a baked vegan cheese, then put a placeholder dish of a similar size in place that you can exchange. And for very soft cheese, serve in a small bowl or dish.
Add Vegan Meats
Arrange small slices in a fan or curve. Larger slices can be folded into quarters and arranged into fan shapes, or cut in half and rolled up. Whole items like vegan chorizo should be at least partially sliced to encourage guests.
Add Condiments, Antipasti and Dips
Place your condiments, antipasti or dips in small bowls or dishes and arrange them on the board. Arrange any condiments that go well with a particular vegan cheese together.
Add Bread and Crackers
Next to the vegan cheeses, add a variety of vegan crackers or other breads. Arrange them in small stacks or fanned out.
Remember you can top up these items as you go, or serve the crackers on an additional board or plate to save space.
Add Fresh Fruit and Veggies
Cut your fresh fruits and veggies into slices or sticks for easy snacking. Arrange several portions of the same items in different places on the board for easy access and visual balance.
Add Nuts, Dried fruits and Extras
Fill in the remaining gaps with small items like dried fruits, nuts and squares of dark chocolate or any other bonus items you wish to include.
Final Touches
To finish, add some utensils - small spoons for condiments and dips, and sharp knives for the vegan cheeses and meats. You can also add a couple of sprigs of fresh herbs for a lovely finishing touch!
