How to create the perfect spring platter 👩🍳
Kia ora Superseed whānau, As the days get longer and the weather warms up, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a beautiful, bountiful platter!
Whether it's a casual family get-together or a more formal affair, we've got all the tips you need to assemble a stunning and delicious spread that everyone will love.
A step-by-step guide
1. Choose your base: Start with a variety of our crackers as the foundation of your platter. Their crunch and moreish flavours are perfect for pairing with a range of toppings.
2. Add some protein: Include an assortment of cheeses, from creamy brie to sharp cheddar, alongside sliced cured meats like prosciutto or salami. For a plant-based option, consider adding hummus or a bean dip!
3. A touch of freshness: Incorporate fresh seasonal fruits like grapes, berries, and slices of peach or nectarine for a touch of sweetness. Vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and capsicum also add a bit of colour and crunch.

4. Add something pickled: throw in some gherkins, olives, or artichokes for a briny contrast that complements the richer elements on your platter.
5. Don’t forget the extras: Nuts, dried fruits, and small bowls of chutney and pesto can add texture and layers of flavour. If you're feeling fancy, try a sprinkle of edible flowers for an extra touch of beauty!
6. Arranging with flair doesn't have to be hard! Place larger items like cheese blocks and bowls first. Arrange crackers in neat piles or cascading rows. Fill in gaps with fruits and nuts, ensuring there’s a good mix of colours and shapes across the board.
Happy plattering!
