Instructions
Tomatoes
- Cut tomatoes in half and finely chop the mint. After, toss in balsamic vinegar.
Cucumber
- split down the middle the long way then split again down those halves. This is will give you four quarters. Slice the cucumbers up making them into little triangles. Chop dill finely then add into cut cucumbers. Now, pour white wine vinegar over and give everything an even tossing.
- Note: for the cucumbers and tomatoes be sure to give them a quick toss before serving because the vinegar likes to settle to the bottom after some time.
Charcuterie board
- prepping the ingredients is all of the presentation. You'll want to have small bowls and a large board for serving to make things look the best.
- When preparing the strawberries you do not have to halve them. However, when serving they just look better when prepped that way. Plus, they will go further with how many people you can serve with one summer charcuterie board.
- You can cube the pineapple, buy it cubed or if you have a core remover you can remove the core and make pineapple rings.
- For the meat, remove in slices and roll the meat into a cylinder. For the salami fold it in half.
- To lay everything out you want to build around the meat. Since there are three meats form them into a triangle and fill in the areas around. It's very simple to build a nice charcuterie board. You can always refer to the photos and copy what you see. If using a square charcuterie board versus a circle you can still do the same methods.
