Ingredients

  • Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
  • Soppressata
  • Mild salami
  • Goat cheese log
  • Aged Manchego or Parmesan slices
  • Brie or Camembert
  • Snap peas
  • Radishes (thinly sliced)
  • Baby carrots
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Green grapes
  • Figs (fresh or dried)
  • Marcona almonds or lightly salted cashews
  • Rustic baguette (sliced thinly)
  • Water crackers (gluten-free if preferred)
  • Edible flowers (nasturtiums, violets, pansies, calendula petals)
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, mint)
  • Honey or fig jam
  • Whole grain mustard

Instructions

  1. Rinse edible flowers gently under cold water and pat dry on paper towels.
  2. Slice cheeses and cured meats into bite-sized pieces or thin slices.
  3. Wash and trim fresh veggies, slice radishes thinly, and halve grapes and figs if using fresh.
  4. Place cheeses spaced evenly across the board, positioning the goat cheese log near the center.
  5. Fold and fan out the cured meats around the cheeses, creating little clusters.
  6. Fill in gaps with colorful fruits like strawberries and grapes and place fresh veggies in small bunches.
  7. Spoon nuts into small bowls or scatter them artistically in empty spaces.
  8. Add dollops of honey or fig jam in ramekins with a small spoon or spreader.
  9. Carefully tuck edible flowers around the board, layering some petals over cheeses and meats.
  10. Add sprigs of thyme, rosemary, and mint for aroma and freshness.
  11. Add crackers and sliced baguette along the edges or in a separate basket.
  12. Place cheese knives nearby for easy serving.
  13. Serve immediately or cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.

Notes

Take cheeses out of the fridge about 30 minutes before assembling to soften. Use fresh, pesticide-free edible flowers. Fold meats into ribbons or cones for better presentation. Avoid overcrowding the board to allow each element to shine. Store crackers separately to maintain crunchiness. Fresh flowers wilt quickly; assemble close to serving time.
