Ingredients

1.5 ounces dry-roasted almonds
1.5 ounces candied pecans
2 (1.15-ounce) meat sticks, cut into thirds

2 ounces snap peas
1 (4-ounce) Persian cucumber, sliced
2 ounces baby carrots (about 8)
2 ounces fresh baguette, sliced into 8 slices
8 whole-grain wheat crackers
8 butter crackers

Directions

Spoon the cottage cheese into a small bowl. Fill two additional small bowls with the roasted almonds and candied pecans. Set all three bowls on a large board or serving platter to anchor the layout.
