Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds assorted cured meats such as salami, pate, prosciutto, pepperoni and coppa
  • 1 pound cheese cubes or as a whole wedge
  • 1 cup olives
  • 1 cup vegetables raw, grilled or pickled
  • 1 cup Fruit fresh or dried
  • 12 ounces assorted bread baguette slices, breadsticks, crackers
  • 3/4 cup nuts
  • fresh herbs for garnish
  • sauces such as preserves or dips optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Arrange all the ingredients on a large board or platter. If you're using sauces, place them in small bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, then serve.
  2. If you want to make this platter in advance, assemble everything on the board except the bread products and fresh herbs. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, uncover, and add bread and herbs. Let stand for 15 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Go for a variety of textures. For example, do some cubes of salami along with some thin sliced prosciutto. Offer a wedge of blue cheese, then cut your cheddar into slices or cubes.
  • Add a few pairs of small metal tongs to the platter so people can easily serve themselves. They are available for purchase online. You can also add some small cheese knives.
