Choose your favorite shape tray. You can use a round, oval, square, rectangle or whichever shape and size you have on hand.
Create a simple foundation using parsley or your choice of greens for garnish.
Add a variety of cheeses in a few different sections of the tray.
Lay crackers around the cheese on both sides of the tray.
Begin to layer in the vegetables and dip followed by small bowls filled with pickles and olives. Here, I choose a creamy onion dip but you can choose hummus, vinaigrette, Caesar, Asian sesame or your favorite vegetable dip.
Finish by layering in remaining vegetables, nuts, and any other items you choose. Complete your tray with a few sprinkles of fresh cranberries for a splash of color.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
