Over the last few years I’ve been really into arranging a bunch of food on a board and serving it up as a casual weeknight dinner, a great party appetizer or a delicious mid-afternoon snack on a weekend. Something about food on a board is just so damn enjoyable, and people naturally seem to love food that’s interactive, which is why this one would make such a good addition to your next party. People love a great cheese board, but this is spin on the classic is even better with an excess of good fresh mozzarella and burrata, loaded up with a variety of tomatoes. Drizzle everything with a good olive oil, max out on fresh basil, then sprinkle the whole mess with yummy coarse grain sea salt and you’re in business.
- Fresh mozzarella
- Burrata
- Heirloom tomatoes
- Grape tomatoes
- Beeksteak tomatoes
- Kalamata olives
- Sliced radishes
- Croutons
- Fresh basil
- Olive oil
- Coarse ground sea salt

Beautiful! We like to call this “picky food”. Where did you find that cheese board?
Hi Pam! I love the sounds of “picky food” and it’s so accurate! I got that particular board at TJ Maxx a while back. They always have great wood boards!
This food makes my heart sing. I could eat this for every single meal. Pinned all over the place.
Thanks, friend! Basically this is what my dreams look like so I’m glad you agree. I always knew I liked you! ;-) xoxoxoxo
