Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Soft Cheeses such as Brie, Blue Cheese, Havarti, Goat Cheese, Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Buffalo Mozzarella
  • 1-3 Hard Cheeses such as cheddar (sharp, mild, English cheddar), Swiss, Parmesan, Gouda, Manchego, Provolone, Emmental, Asiago, Gruyere
  • 1-2 Meats such as Salami, Prosciutto, Smoked Ham, Soppressata, Pate, Smoked Salmon.
  • 1-3 varieties of bread/crackers. Look for different shapes and sizes, Baguette, breadsticks and pita chips work great too.
  • 1-3 Fruits such as red grapes, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, red apple slices, cherries, Pomegranate seeds, cherry tomatoes, green grapes, figs, apricots, melon, pears, mango, kiwi.
  • 1-2 Dips or Spreads such as Jam/jelly, fig spread, soft cheese like Rodelé by Président , pesto (like my Basil Arugula Pesto), ground/grainy mustard, ranch dip, pub cheese, hummus, honey, olive tapenade, balsamic vinegar/olive oil.
  • 1-4 "Extras" such as Nuts (use a variety like candied, salty, smoked, flavored), candy/chocolate, dried fruit (apricots, cranberries and raisins all work well), pumpkin seeds, granola, olives and mini pickles. Pretty herbs like rosemary, basil, arugula or parsley make beautiful garnishes.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by placing your hard and soft cheeses on the board. Spread them out over the board so they are not touching each other.
  • Then, add your meat(s). Again, place them around the board so they aren't touching each other. The should not touch the cheese, either. Here is the video I used to learn how to make the pretty salami flower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbSmK_r4Pk
  • Add your dips and spreads using small bowls to be placed around the board.
  • Crackers go on next. Separate the different varieties of crackers around the board. 
  • Last, add on any “extras” such as your chocolate, dried fruit, candy or nuts.
