    First of all don't ever wash the cutting board in a dishwasher. If it was originally made with the old fashioned hide glue, hide glue breaks down with both heat and water but most glues weaken with heat.
    To do it the easy way I would just use Titebond ll or lll on the joint that failed and clamp it up tight. Be prepared to fix it again in the future on some of the other joints but it's easier to reglue individual joints as they fail than try to glue up the whole board at once.
    Then sand or scrape the surface smooth, disinfect with bleach, then treat with a food grade mineral oil/bees wax mixture. Don't use olive oil or other vegetable oils as they will turn rancid over time

    Howard's Butcher Block Conditioner, it contains Food Grade Mineral Oil, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, and Vitamin E. Made in the USA and comes out of Pasa Robles, CA. I get it locally at Home Depot. I use it as a final finish on my bowls.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    Me, I'd use a dowel jig and the Titebond. You'll be OK with almost all of the above. It may well come apart at a different bond later . Assume you're like me - never get rid of anything you can fix !
