Notes
This platter is best served fresh for maximum texture and flavor contrast.
You can prep all components ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
Swap cheeses based on preference—camembert or goat cheese also works beautifully.
Add grilled meats or falafel if you want a more filling version.
Keep dips chilled until serving to maintain freshness.
