Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 6 oz fresh raspberries
  • 2 large Honeycrisp apples
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes
  • 4 oz 70% dark chocolate bar
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 12 whole grain heart-shaped crackers
  • 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Whisk yogurt, honey, and cinnamon. Combine in a small bowl until the mixture is velvety and uniform.
  2. Place yogurt dip in a ramekin. Set this on the board first as your main anchor point.
  3. Core and slice Honeycrisp apples. Slice into 1/4 inch wedges until the flesh is bright and crisp.
  4. Wash and dry strawberries and raspberries. Ensure they are bone dry until no moisture remains on the skin.
  5. Cluster the strawberries. Arrange them near the dip until they form a dense, red focal point.
  6. Break dark chocolate into shards. Snap the 4 oz bar into irregular pieces until you hear a sharp, clean crack.
  7. Fan the apple slices. Place them in a curved line until they overlap like playing cards.
  8. Scatter walnuts and pepitas. Fill the small gaps between the larger fruits until the board looks lush and full.
  9. Nestle the heart shaped crackers. Place these near the yogurt dip until they are easily accessible for scooping.
  10. Add the raspberries and grapes. Use these as the final fillers until no wood or marble is visible on the board.
