5. Incorporate Crackers: Place assorted crackers around the meats, filling in any gaps on the board.
6. Add Fresh and Dried Fruits: Scatter fresh fruits like grapes and apple slices, as well as dried fruits, throughout the board for bursts of color and sweetness.
7. Finish with Nuts and Herbs: Fill any remaining spaces with nuts and garnish with fresh herbs for an aromatic touch.
