Ingredients
  

1 cup assorted cured meats (prosciutto, salami, soppressata)

1 cup assorted cheeses (brie, aged cheddar, gouda)

1/2 cup mixed olives (green and black)

1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts

1/2 cup honey or fig jam

1 cup fresh fruits (grapes, sliced apples, berries)

1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)

1 baguette, sliced into rounds

1/2 cup dark chocolate or chocolate-covered treats

Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Board: Start with a large wooden or marble serving board. Lay it out on a clean, flat surface.

    Arrange the Meats: Begin by placing the assorted cured meats in small folds or rolled slices around the board. Create clusters for visual appeal.

      Add the Cheeses: Cut the cheeses into various shapes such as cubes, wedges, or slices. Position them in between the meat sections, ensuring there's a mix of soft and hard textures.

        Incorporate the Olives and Artichokes: Place small bowls or piles of olives and marinated artichokes in gaps around the meats and cheeses to add contrasting colors and flavors.

          Sweeten the Deal: Add small bowls of honey or fig jam on the board for a sweet contrast to the savory items. Make sure they are easily accessible.

            Fresh Fruits: Fill in spaces with fresh fruits, scattering grapes, apple slices, and berries for a vibrant pop of color and freshness.

              Nuts Galore: Add a mix of nuts in scattered piles throughout the board to enhance texture and crunch.

                Bread Placement: Arrange the slices of baguette either in a fan shape or stacked in a small pile to serve as a base for the cheeses and meats.

                  Chocolate Treats: Place dark chocolate or chocolate-covered treats near the fruits for a delightful sweet finish.

                    Garnish with Herbs: Finally, sprinkle fresh herbs around the board to add a fragrant finish and an element of green.
