Cutting Board
- 8 ounces yellow cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
- 8 ounces orange cheddar cheese, cut into slices
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups cantaloupe chunks
- 2 oranges, segmented
- 2 yellow apples, cored and sliced
Place the yellow cheddar cubes in a wide strip along one end of the board.
Arrange the pineapple chunks in a second strip next to the yellow cheese.
Set the orange cheddar slices in a strip beside the pineapple to begin the orange section.
Add the cantaloupe chunks in the next strip.
Finish with the orange segments and yellow apple slices in the final strip to complete the color progression.
Adjust any pieces so the sections sit evenly without overlapping.
Keep the apple slices from browning by tossing them with a little lemon juice right after cutting. If you want a sweeter note, swap one of the oranges for dried apricots. The board holds up best when assembled no more than two hours before guests arrive.
