A quick and easy no-cook antipasto board combining salty salami with sweet summer fruits, perfect for lake days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced dry-cured salami
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 ripe peach or nectarine, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 6 ounces fresh mozzarella balls or sliced provolone
  • ½ cup mixed olives, pitted (Kalamata or Castelvetrano recommended)
  • ½ cup Marcona almonds, lightly salted
  • A few sprigs fresh basil or mint
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling over fruit)
  • Crackers or sliced baguette for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh fruit under cold water and gently pat dry with a kitchen towel. Hull and halve strawberries, halve grapes, slice peaches or nectarines thinly.
  2. If salami isn’t pre-sliced, cut into thin, foldable slices about 1/8-inch thick. Slice mozzarella balls in half or slice provolone thinly.
  3. Place small bowls of olives and Marcona almonds on a large serving board or platter.
  4. Fan out the salami slices in neat folds or rolls for visual appeal.
  5. Distribute cheese pieces in clusters near the meat.
  6. Scatter the fresh fruit around the board, mixing colors and shapes.
  7. Tuck fresh basil or mint sprigs between ingredients for color and aroma.
  8. Lightly drizzle honey over the fruit area if desired.
  9. Arrange crackers or sliced baguette on one side of the board or in a separate basket.
  10. Keep the board chilled until serving, especially on hot days.

Notes

Keep fruit dry to prevent sogginess. Serve the board slightly chilled but allow cheese and meat to soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. Keep nuts separate in small bowls to maintain crunch. Prepare close to serving time for best freshness. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers or veggie sticks instead of bread. For dairy-free, substitute cheese with marinated artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers.
