Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Skewers: Fold each slice of pepared salami into quarters to create a compact shape. Use a long wooden skewer to pierce and hold the folded meat securely. Arrange these skewers neatly on the charcuterie board as the base elements.
- Add Cheese to the Board: Place small chunks of assorted cheeses—Colby Jack, Fontina, Pepper Jack, and Cheddar—on the board. Use the small mozzarella balls strategically around the area designated for bunny ears to create an outline.
- Assemble the Bunny Ears and Add Fruits: Fill the outlined bunny ears area with small diced cantaloupe chunks, creating the shape of the ears. Distribute the fresh sliced kiwi, strawberries, blackberries, baby carrots, and baby tomatoes artistically around the board to fill any gaps, providing a vibrant and colorful appearance. Serve with crackers and enjoy immediately.
