Serves 8
Prep time 15 minutes
Vegetarian suitable (cheese-dependent)
Ingredients
-
1 cup hummus
- 100g goats cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 150g cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 200g mini cucumbers, halved
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 250g fresh strawberries, dehulled and halved
- 100g wholegrain crackers
- ½ pear, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherries
- ½ cup roasted mixed nuts
- ¾ cup green olives
- 125g fresh raspberries
- 1 cup grapes
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8-10 fresh rosemary sprigs
How to make
1. Place fresh rosemary springs around the edge of a circular serving board to create the outline of a wreath. Add a small serving bowl for the hummus.
2. Arrange the cheeseboard ingredients in a circular shape across the serving board. Bunching each ingredient together and leaving a small circle in the middle.
3. Lay a smaller circle of rosemary around the inner circle of the platter to create the inner outline of the wreath and add the hummus to the bowl.
4. Add some cutlery for serving, such as cheese knifes, mini tongs or small spoons.
Notes
- We have chosen a 38cm wooden serving board, however this would also work on a large square or rectangular platter, simply use the rosemary to create a circular outline.
- We have chosen these ingredients to create a vibrant, colourful platter, with plenty of red and green props. Feel free to substitute these for any of your favourite foods.
- Arrange ingredients together around the platter, this makes it easier for guests to locate what they are after and prevents strong flavours mixing with other ingredients.
- Before serving the platter, remove cheeses from the fridge roughly 30 minutes before to bring to room temperature. However, keep all fresh produce in the fridge until right before assembling.
