Ingredients
- Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- Soppressata or mild salami
- Goat cheese log, sliced
- Manchego or aged cheddar, cubed
- Fresh mozzarella balls
- Strawberries, halved
- Snap peas or sugar snap peas
- Cucumber slices
- Green grapes
- Marcona almonds or roasted cashews
- Honey or fig jam
- Fresh mint leaves
- Fresh thyme sprigs
- Edible flowers such as pansies, nasturtiums, or violets (pesticide-free)
Instructions
- Rinse all fresh produce and edible flowers gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice strawberries, cucumbers, and cheeses to bite-sized pieces. Drain and pat dry mozzarella balls to prevent excess moisture.
- Place small bowls or ramekins for honey and jam on the board, spacing them evenly. Arrange clusters of cured meats by folding or rolling slices for texture and dimension, leaving space for fruits and cheeses.
- Position cheeses around the meats, balancing creamy rounds with firmer cubes. Add cheese knives or spreaders next to each type.
- Scatter strawberries, grapes, snap peas, and cucumber slices in small piles or rows. Sprinkle nuts in open spaces or inside a ramekin.
- Delicately tuck fresh mint sprigs and thyme around fruits and cheeses. Use kitchen tweezers or fingers to place edible flowers thoughtfully in clusters or scattered for a natural look.
- Drizzle honey or add a small dish of fig jam for sweetness contrast. Adjust spacing and color balance as needed.
Notes
Add edible flowers last to prevent wilting. Store flowers and herbs separately if prepping ahead. Use folding and rolling techniques for meats to add texture and dimension. Avoid overcrowding the board for better presentation. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute cheeses and meats accordingly.
