Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start with a large white platter placed on a flat surface accessible to all guests.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the rosemary sprigs along the edges to create a fresh green border resembling football sidelines.
  3. Step 3: Create wide rows from bottom to top: place cheddar cheese cubes at the bottom, followed by turkey pepperoni slices, then pepper jack cheese cubes, green olives, blackberries, and raspberries at the top.
  4. Step 4: Add pretzel sticks on one side of the platter to resemble goalposts or pile them at the bottom for easy snacking.
  5. Step 5: Fill any open spaces with extra rosemary sprigs to enhance presentation and fullness.
  6. Step 6: Mix ranch seasoning into cottage cheese in a small bowl and serve alongside the platter. Add pickles on the side for extra tang if desired.

Notes

Prep ingredients in advance for quick assembly. Swap cheeses, meats, fruits, and crunchy elements to customize your board. Keep fruit fresh by rinsing just before assembling. Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. The dip should be stored separately and stirred before serving again.
