Instructions
Make a centerpiece. Add the Greek yogurt to a small mixing bowl and top it with the honey. Place in the middle of your board.
Stagger the bowls. Add the raspberry jam to a smaller bowl and place it in a different area of the board. The two bowls will anchor your board and you can arrange the remaining ingredients around them.
Fill in the gaps. Arrange the fruits, cheeses, meats, crackers, and nuts on the board surrounding the two bowls you placed down.
