Nuts

  • 1.5 ounces dry-roasted almonds
  • 1.5 ounces candied pecans

Meats

  • 2 (1.15-ounce) meat sticks, cut into thirds
  • 2 ounces sliced salami
  • 2 ounces sliced deli turkey (2 to 3 slices), halved

Fresh Produce

  • 6 ounces seedless red grapes
  • 1 (2-ounce) mandarin orange, peeled and segmented
  • 2 ounces snap peas
  • 1 (4-ounce) Persian cucumber, sliced
  • 2 ounces baby carrots (about 8)

Carbs

  • 2 ounces fresh baguette, sliced into 8 slices
  • 8 whole-grain wheat crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheese and nuts: Spoon the cottage cheese into a small bowl. Fill two additional small bowls with the dry-roasted almonds and candied pecans. Set all three bowls on a large board or serving platter to establish the base layout.
  2. Arrange the cheeses and meats: Evenly space the halved Stringles®, sharp cheddar cubes, cut meat sticks, sliced salami, and halved deli turkey slices around the board or platter, creating an inviting variety of flavors and textures.
  3. Add fresh produce: Place the fresh produce in small clusters strategically around the board. Include seedless red grapes, mandarin orange segments, snap peas, sliced Persian cucumber, and baby carrots to add color, freshness, and crunch.
  4. Fill in with bread and crackers: Use the remaining spaces on the board to arrange the fresh baguette slices, whole-grain wheat crackers, and butter crackers, rounding out the platter with complementary carbs.
  5. Serve: Present the board immediately for best freshness and enjoy a balanced assortment of flavors and textures.

  • Choose organic or high-quality ingredients to enhance flavor and nutrition.
  • Customize the meats and cheeses to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Try adding honey or mustard as dips if desired to add flavor contrast.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit meats and add more nuts, cheeses, and fruits.
  • Serve with wine or your favorite beverage to elevate the board experience.
