Brie and Salami Party Board with Honey Mustard

Every good party board follows the same order of operations: anchors first, then meat, then crackers, then fruit to fill the gaps. The brie wheel and two small bowls set the layout, and the salami curves around the cheese like a ribbon so it is easy to grab. Pre-scoring the brie into wedges keeps guests from mangling it. Pickles and green apple are not decoration here; their acidity cuts through the fat so people keep coming back. Assemble no more than an hour ahead so crackers stay crisp.
