Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 oz salami, thinly sliced
- 8 oz prosciutto
- 6 oz pepperoni
Cheeses:
- 8 oz white cheddar, cubed or sliced
- 8 oz brie or goat cheese
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
Fruits:
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
Crackers & Bread:
- 1 box water crackers
- 1 box butter crackers
- 1 baguette, sliced
Extras:
- 1/2 cup marcona almonds or candied pecans
- 1/4 cup honey or jam
- Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start with your largest serving board, platter, or even a clean cutting board. If you don’t have one big enough, use two smaller boards or platters—no one will judge.
- Place your cheeses first, spacing them out across the board. This gives you anchor points to build around.
- Fold or roll the salami and prosciutto into loose shapes—nothing fancy, just enough so they’re easy to grab. Tuck them into empty spaces near the cheese.
- Add small bowls for the honey or jam. These keep things tidy and give the board some height variation.
- Pile the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in clusters around the board. Group them by color for that red, white, and blue effect.
- Fill in the gaps with crackers and baguette slices. Stand some crackers upright if you need to fill space or add visual interest.
- Scatter the nuts in any remaining empty spots. They’re great little fillers that add crunch.
- Tuck in a few sprigs of fresh herbs if you have them. Rosemary or thyme adds a nice pop of green and makes everything look a little more intentional.
- Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
