Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 14

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).
