Fresh garden vegetables at their peak in summer are a wonderful way to enjoy a healthy and vibrant edible arrangement.

Charcuterie and food stylist pro-Amanda Starley, of Social Spreads, has several ways to display produce and snacks on one big sharable platter.

The Texas-based business owner, who sells boards, boxes, graze tables and classes to learn the tricks of the trade, shared her latest vegetable-centric creation and how to make it at home with "Good Morning America."

How to make a summer garden vegetable board

Step 1

Lay down a base of fresh large leaf lettuces or rainbow chard. Place a section of separated endive leaves at the top and bottom of the circular board to begin to create some sections and symmetry.

Step 2

Using a head of radicchio, slice off a small part of the top to expose the leafy layers. Cut the inside to create a hull that will hold any dipping sauce or spread of your choosing. Place the radicchio "bowl" in the center of the board.

Step 3

Working from the inside out. Take your sliced vegetables, cucumbers, carrots and snap peas and begin to arrange them in sections around the circumference of the board.

Step 4

Layer on other like-sized vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli florets, tomatoes, sliced radishes and bell pepper rings to fill in any holes or areas that need more coverage.

Step 5

Garnish with fresh edible flowers.

Step 6

Serve, snack and enjoy.
