How to Make a Trader Joe’s Cheese Board

Cheese

Arrow

The first thing you need to start with is cheese and or any bowls of olives, etc. Space them throughout the cheese platter. Be sure to take them out of the refrigerator so they can be served at room temperature.

Meats

Next add the meats. I like to keep them close to the cheeses. If you’re using a variety, be sure to put a little section of each meat by each cheese, so that you’ve got a few different meat sections throughout the board with a variety.

Arrow

Crackers

Fan out crackers like water crackers and place any oddly shaped crackers (like the breadsticks) in a small bowl or glass.

Arrow

Fresh components

Now we’re going to add the fruit and/or vegetable. You want people to be able to pick up one piece and eat it easily, so cut cucumbers into rounds on a bias; cut grapes into little clumps of 2-3 and slice any pears or apples.
