Yes, it\u2019s the era of boards, but I\u2019m much more of a components gal. I like to assemble smaller plates with a mix of platters, ceramics, and glassware. It just feels a little more interesting and special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am using the ZIBA trail mix and trail pairing, which has an assortment of everything you need: sweet, savory, crunchy, and chewy dried fruits and nuts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also add more kishmish raisins (the only raisins in the world that will change your opinion about raisins imho), and dried figs \u2014 the perfect accompaniment to all of those sweet and salty bites.&nbsp;&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I was lucky to find fig leaves at the farmers market and I use those with endive and radicchio leaves as a resting place for my favorite cheeses. I like to choose 3 or 4 cheeses \u2014 something nutty, creamy, and tangy usually covers the bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seasonal fruits like grapes, pomegranate, apples, and persimmon are beautiful to slice up and to dot along the table as decorative props.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add fresh herbs like thyme sprigs and edible flowers for a little oomph too. Honey, jam, and chutney are great in little dishes along with crackers and torn bread. You can\u2019t go wrong with a spread like this.
