How to build a Classic Sandwich Platter-

  • Start out by adding your favorite condiments into ramekins (or small serving bowls). We used mayonnaise, mustard, and our favorite Chipotle Mayo. Spread out the bowls on a large platter (a large cutting board works great).
  • Add the bread and sliced deli meats around the platter.
  • Finish the board by adding the toppings.
This sandwich platter may be arranged in advance, covered tightly and kept refrigerated.

I hope you are inspired to create your next platter yourself instead of ordering at the store or restaurant. Not only is it cheaper, it looks gorgeous when served.
