Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) seedless green grapes
- 1 cup (150g) blueberries
- 1 cup (150g) strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 ripe figs, quartered
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 8 oz (225g) sharp white cheddar, cubed into ½ inch pieces
- 8 oz (225g) mozzarella pearls
- 4 oz (115g) prosciutto, sliced into ribbons
- 4 oz (115g) hard salami, thinly sliced and folded
- ½ cup (60g) roasted almonds
- 16 small pretzel sticks
- 8 fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
- Wash all berries and grapes thoroughly. Slice the strawberries and figs. In a small bowl, gently toss the sliced fruit with lemon juice to maintain a bright, vibrant color.
- Cube the sharp white cheddar and fold the prosciutto and salami into ribbons or fans.
- Place the mozzarella pearls and cubed cheddar at the bottom of 8 clear 9oz cups to create a stable base.
- Fill the gaps around the cheese with blueberries and grapes, then gently tuck in the strawberry halves and fig quarters.
- Add a handful of roasted almonds to fill any remaining voids.
- Thread a piece of salami, a cube of cheese, and a grape onto a bamboo skewer and nestle it into the cup at an angle.
- Finish by adding a pretzel stick and a single sprig of mint to each cup.
