Ingredients

4 different kinds of cheese, ideally a mix of hard and soft (I used goat cheese, Manchego, fresh mozzarella, and medium cheddar from Primo Taglio)
2-3 different types of cured meats, thinly sliced or cubed (I used prosciutto and Italian dry salami from Primo Taglio)
3 different kinds of fresh, in-season fruits (I used sweet cherries, watermelon & red grapes)
3 different kinds of fresh, in-season veggies (I used sweet bell pepper, cucumber & heirloom cherry tomatoes)
2 different kinds of dip (I used roasted red pepper hummus & basil pesto)
mixed olives (I used a jar with a blend of green, kalamata & niçoise olives)
fruit jam or preserves (I used blackberry jam)
mustard (I used stone ground mustard)
pickles (I used cornichons/gherkins)
two different kinds of neutral crackers (I used butter crackers & water crackers)
Fresh crusty bread, sliced into small chunks or rounds (I used a sourdough baguette)
nuts (I used toasted almonds)
leafy greens (I used spring mix)
salt & pepper (optional) - for sprinkling on a variety of foods

Steps:

Grab your board or preferred serving platter, along with any small bowls (for wet ingredients) and knives or spoons for serving.
Optional: spread a layer of parchment or wax paper over the board to keep the fats/oils from the meat & cheese from seeping into the wood.
Slice or cube the meats & cheeses (if needed), then wash & prep the veggies and fruit.
Arrange all the ingredients on the board, starting with the meats & cheeses, followed by the fruits & veggies, then the wet ingredients in small bowls (olives, dips, sauces, condiments). Fill in any gaps with crackers, sliced bread, nuts and bunches of leafy greens.
Serve immediately with toothpicks, napkins and/or small plates. Replenish popular ingredients as needed (this almost always happens with crackers).

ROASTED ASPARAGUS & TOMATOES RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT

Roasted Asparagus & Tomatoes Recipe: How to Make It image

I have a habit of buying too much asparagus when it’s in season, but it doesn't go to waste! I toss the spears with cherry tomatoes and goat cheese for this side. Be sure to use good quality goat cheese—it makes all the difference. —Holly Battiste, Barrington, New Jersey
