Layer

You can certainly lay out all on the serving platters you have but then that takes away from the concept of a grazing table. Better keep it simple! If there’s not enough space on your grazing table, build different layers on your platter with different-sized chopping boards, baskets, mounted trays and mason jars to split things up.
