Tips
- Cut the white cheese and the sausage into slices of similar size, so the platter looks tidy and is easy to pick from.
- Slice the tomatoes only at the last minute, because their juice quickly makes the platter soggy.
- A small bowl of ajvar or kajmak goes very well with the platter, and spread on the flatbread it makes the meal more complete.
