Fruit: You can use any fresh fruit that you like best. I prefer using fresh berries, grapes, and figs.

Olives: I like to use a variety of olives for great flavor. My go-to choices are Kalamata olives and green olives.
Dips & Spreads: The classic dips I like to use on this board are hummus and tzatziki.
Breads: Any cracker, pita, or bread works well.
Garnishes: Using fresh herbs is always a beautiful and fragrant way to decorate a board. For a mediterranean spread I like using fresh mint, basil, or dill.

Substitutions & Additions
Add in plant-based meats & cheese: I tried to keep this board to more of a fresh arrangement with less processed food. With that being said, traditional charcuterie boards use a variety of cheeses and cured meats. This is a vegan charcuterie board so we left those food items off our board.
You can use your favorite plant-based cheeses and meat substitutes if you prefer.
Swap ingredients out: You can absolutely take certain foods off this board and replace them with other foods.
Add more dips and spreads: If you're a big fan of dips and spreads you can add more to your board. I recommend different flavors of hummus, tzatziki, eggplant dip, pesto, harissa, jams and jellies.
Top Tip: If you're short on time you can prep most of these ingredients the day before you plan to serve this board.

Expert Tips
- 1 for 1 swaps: When creating your board feel free to leave off any foods that you don't like. With that being said, if you omit a food I recommend adding a new food in its place. It can be double of another food that's already on the board or a new food.
