Ingredients
Scale
8 Waffles, cut into quarters
1 cup Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries)
1 cup Sliced Banana
1/2 cup Sliced Kiwi
4 slices Smoked Salmon

1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

Instructions
Prepare the waffles according to package directions or your preferred recipe. Cut each waffle into four small squares for easy grazing.
Arrange the waffle quarters artfully on a large wooden board or platter.
Place small bowls or ramekins on the board for dips: one for Greek Yogurt, one for Maple Syrup, and one for softened Cream Cheese mixed with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Group the fresh fruit sections together, placing berries, bananas, and kiwi in distinct piles around the waffles.
Fold or loosely roll the smoked salmon slices and place them near one edge of the board.
Arrange the cooked bacon or turkey bacon pieces near the salmon.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the yogurt or cream cheese sections for added texture.
Place the board in the center of your gathering space to encourage social eating.
Notes

You can substitute cottage cheese for Greek yogurt if preferred.
