SIMPLE, ELEGANT & AFFORDABLE

Creating a share platter at home is a delightful way to bring friends and family together over a delicious assortment of finger foods. For a low-cost option, start with a variety of fresh fruits like juicy strawberries, crisp apple slices, and sweet grapes, complemented by an array of cheeses such as creamy brie, sharp cheddar, and tangy goat cheese. Add some whole grain crackers and a handful of mixed nuts to complete the spread. For a more extravagant high-cost share platter, indulge in a selection of gourmet cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and smoked salmon, accompanied by artisanal cheeses like aged Gouda, Roquefort, and Manchego. Add a touch of luxury with some marinated olives, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes, and serve it all with a variety of crusty bread and premium extra virgin olive oil for dipping. The possibilities are endless, so let your creativity flow and design a share platter that suits your taste and budget perfectly.
