• Calabrese salami, rolled (see info below!)

• Snap peas

• Radish, ends thinly sliced off

• Cashew

• Sliced black olives, halved 

• Blueberries, halved

• Strawberry, cut into shape of lips

• Blueberries, whole and halved

• Red grapes

• Sliced black olives, halved 

• Radish, ends thinly sliced off 

• Cashew, nose

• Strawberry, cut into shape of lips

Sarah

• 8-ounce brie wheel

• Tillamook Reserve Cheddar, broken into pieces

• Purple grapes

• Sliced black olives, halved 

• Blueberries, halved

• Radish, ends thinly sliced off

• Cashew

Garnish

• Jarlsberg, cut into circle and cut into stars using a cookie cutter

• Sliced black olives, halved

Directions

• Start by adding the 3 brie wheels to the board, the one in the center higher than the others.

• Create Mary’s hairdo using blackberries and blueberries above the brie wheel on the right. Using the cheddar pieces, create Sarah’s hairdo above and on the left of the brie wheel on the left. Finally, add the rolled salami above the brie wheel in the center to create Winnifred’s hairdo. 

• To resemble the sisters’ dresses, add the purple grapes below the Sarah brie wheel and the red grapes below the Mary brie wheel. Then add the snap peas in vertical layers below the Winnifred brie wheel (I also added a halved snap pea vertically to resemble a necklace). 

• Place the Jarlsberg moon and star cutouts at the top of the board to make a night sky. Using 4 olive halves, create 2 V-shapes with the round parts up to make bats on the Jarlsberg moon. 

• For Winnifred’s face, add 2 blueberry halves for her eyes, 2 olive halves for her eyebrows, 2 radish ends for her blushed cheeks, a cashew for her nose, and strawberry lips with Jarlsberg buck teeth on top. 

• For Sarah’s face, add 2 blueberry halves for her eyes, 2 olive halves for her eyebrows, 2 radish ends for her blushed cheeks, and a cashew for her nose. Slice small lips out of another radish and add for her mouth.

• For Mary’s face, add 2 blueberry halves for her eyes, 2 olive halves for her eyebrows, 2 radish ends for her blushed cheeks, a cashew for her nose, and strawberry lips. 

• Serve with your favorite crackers on the side!

How to Roll Salami

This technique is super simple! Simply fold a slice of salami, then roll it into one tight cylinder to create a ringlet curl effect. Repeat for as many salami curls as needed! If the rolls aren’t holding, use toothpicks to help hold them together as you prep the rest of your board. By the time you’re ready to assemble your board, you can take out the toothpicks and they should hold together well. (You can also keep them on for serving, but you may want to break them in half so they are less visible, just make sure to tell your guests so they don’t bite into one!)
