# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks stunning on the table without requiring any actual cooking skills.
  • The mustard-honey glaze brings something warm and slightly sweet that makes simple deli meats taste intentional.
  • You can throw it together while people are arriving and still feel completely in control.
02 -
  • The quality of your deli counter matters more here than anywhere else—ask them to slice it fresh and thin, not the pre-packaged stuff from the cooler.
  • Don't over-dress the meat with glaze if you're serving it right away; you want the drizzle to catch the light, not soak in and turn everything soggy.
03 -
  • Keep everything cold until the last possible moment—a warm platter of deli meat loses its appeal fast.
  • If you're making this more than an hour ahead, hold off on the glaze and fresh garnishes, adding them right before serving so everything looks crisp.
