Spoon the cottage cheese into a small bowl. Fill two additional small bowls with the roasted almonds and candied pecans. Set all three bowls on a large board or serving platter to anchor the layout.
Arrange the Stringles®, cheddar cubes, meat sticks, salami and deli turkey around the board or platter.
Add the fresh produce in small clusters: seedless red grapes, mandarin orange segments, snap peas, sliced Persian cucumber and baby carrots.

Tips

  • If preparing in advance, add only the grapes and snap peas. Cover with plastic or beeswax wrap and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Add the remaining produce, baguette and crackers just before serving.

Fill the remaining spaces with the sliced fresh baguette, whole-grain wheat crackers and butter crackers. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I assemble this board ahead of time?

Yes. Arrange the cheese, meat, grapes and snap peas up to 6 hours ahead, then cover and refrigerate. Add the remaining produce, baguette and crackers just before serving for optimal freshness.

How do I keep cheese fresh if prepping early?

Keep cheese covered and chilled until serving. This prevents it from drying out and maintains the flavor.

Can I swap Stringles® for another Organic Valley® cheese?

Absolutely. Use an equal amount of your family's favorite Organic Valley® cheese, sliced, cubed or cut into fun shapes.

What’s the best way to balance nutrition on the board?

Include protein, produce and carbs: cheese, meats and nuts for protein; fresh fruits and veggies for fiber and color; and crackers or bread in modest portions to keep everyone full and energized.

How could I make this board even more kid-friendly? 

Use bite-sized pieces, mostly familiar favorites plus 2–3 new foods, add a dip like ranch or hummus, cut items into fun shapes, mix crunchy and soft textures, and keep flavors mild.

Organic Valley’s mission is to provide a stable, sustainable pay price to farmers so they can continue farming with their families. It all started in 1988, when seven farmers got together to find a way to market their goods and make a sustainable living by producing organically derived food.
