Notes
- Consider creative ways of presenting ingredients, such as making skewers, or topping with herbs and spices.
- Place fresh herbs like dill and basil around oily foods like sardines, dolmades, etc. because they will help absorb excess oil.
- Try to include a mix of both savory and sweet flavors.
- Always add the fillers last (nuts, seeds, etc) so you can use them to fill in the gaps, making it look fuller and more complete.
- Try to include at least 2 ingredients from every category so you have a balanced board with variety.
