Ingredients

1 mini watermelon, sliced
1 small pineapple, sliced or cubed
1 mango, sliced
1 orange, sliced
8 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced
8 ounces blueberries
6 ounces blackberries
6 ounces raspberries
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
1 cup marcona almonds or other nuts
8 ounces prosciutto slices
8 ounces salami slices
6 ounces gouda cheese
6 ounces cheddar cheese slices
6 ounces burrata or mozzarella balls
2 ounces jam or jelly
2 ounces honey

Instructions

Start by placing small round foods, such as nuts and blueberries, and dips and jams into small bowls. Place the blueberries on the board, spread out a bit from each other.
Place the largest pieces of food first, such as watermelon wedges and cantaloupe slices.
Then start filling in the rest of the fruit.
Add the meats, cheeses, and crackers.
Feel free to move items around to ensure foods of the same color are not right next to each other, and foods that may "bleed" such as raspberries are not next to foods like cheeses or crackers.
Add small serving utensils and serve.

Notes

Serves anywhere from 8 to 12 people, depending on individual servings.

This recipe is to be used as a guide and inspiration point. Feel free to use your favorite fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, crackers, nuts, dips in varying quantities that make sense for your particular summer party.
