On a large platter, cutting board, or even directly on a butcher paper wrapped table, display the charcuterie board elements.Slice cheeses and meats if they don't come pre-sliced.
Shingle them so guests can pick them up one at a time. Arrange all the meats and cheeses, keeping them separated by type.
Then, mix the breads, crackers, and fruit into the remaining space. Feel free to put the salty, briny elements into small bowls to place around the board. Don't forget small tongs or knives and small plates to make it easy to serve. Enjoy!

Instructions
Prep ahead: Use a cutting board that you will not be using as your presentation board. Cut up all of the fruit and vegetables. Place the hummus, olives and jams in serving bowls. Pre-slice any block cheeses.
Assemble the board: Wipe down a large wooden cutting board. Place the bowls onto the board. Next, add the sliced fruits and vegetables, building around the bowls. Arrange the crackers as well.
Fill in the gaps: Add little piles of nuts, seeds and dried fruits in any open areas. Place garnishes of fresh parsley sprigs as the final touch. Serve right away or cover the board with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Enjoy!
