Ingredients
- 18–24 oz thinly sliced salami
- 12–16 oz sliced turkey or chicken deli meat
- 10–12 oz white cheddar or Swiss cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2–3 mandarins or clementines, peeled and separated

Cooking Instructions
-
01
Prepare the cheese: Cut the cheese into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.
-
02
Prepare the citrus: Peel the mandarins and separate them into segments. Thinly slice the blood oranges into rounds.
-
03
Make the salami roses: Layer about 8u201312 thin salami slices, slightly overlapping each other. Roll the layered slices tightly from one end to the other, then gently fan the outer edges to create a rose shape. Repeat to make 3 large roses.
-
04
Create the turkey fan: Fold or roll slices of turkey or chicken deli meat and arrange them in a fan shape along the top and bottom of the board.
-
05
Build the citrus layer: Arrange blood-orange slices in overlapping rows around the center of the board. Add mandarin segments near the top and bottom sections.
-
06
Add the salami: Arrange remaining salami slices along both sides of the board, overlapping each slice slightly for a beautiful layered effect.
-
07
Add the cheese: Place cheese cubes around the outer edges and fill the small cheese cups with additional cubes.
-
08
Place the roses: Position the three salami roses vertically down the center of the board, leaving even spacing between them.
-
09
Add parsley: Tuck fresh parsley between the roses, citrus, meats, and cheese to create a lush floral appearance.
-
10
Finish the board: Fill any remaining empty spaces with cheese cubes, mandarin segments, parsley, and salami slices until the board looks abundant and balanced.
Chef notes
- Use very thinly sliced salami for roses that curl easily. - Chill the salami briefly before shaping the roses to make them easier to handle. - Keep the citrus slices thin so they layer neatly. - Build the board symmetrically for the same elegant floral look.
