meat + cheese board ...

there is something simple and elegant about a nice meat, fruit and cheese board.  It can be arranged in no time, but the presentation is a huge wow factor!

there isn’t much rhyme or reason to putting one together either.  i like to put out a few of favorite cheese selections, some sliced dried meat, fruit, olives, and crackers.  but, really you can do a number of combinations.

with the super bowl coming up this sunday, a nice spread like this may just be the winning ticket at your party!

for my cheese board I used:

castelvetrano olives
carr table crackers
dried dates
gruyere cheese
dried sliced salami
cambozola cheese (it's like a mix of brie and blue cheese, love!)
green grapes
cutie clementine oranges

it also makes for a great snack or a fun lunch!
