Print Recipe

A simple, no-refrigeration snack board featuring dry-cured salami, aged hard cheese, and complementary snacks perfect for boat trips, picnics, or outdoor adventures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 ounces (115-170g) dry-cured salami, thinly sliced (Felino or Soppressata recommended)
  • 6 ounces (170g) aged Manchego, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or aged Gouda, cut into bite-sized chunks or slices
  • 1 cup sturdy crackers (whole grain or artisan styles preferred)
  • ½ cup (75g) mixed olives, pitted (Kalamata or Castelvetrano recommended)
  • ½ cup (75g) pickles or cornichons
  • ¼ cup (30g) roasted almonds or Marcona almonds
  • ¼ cup (30g) dried apricots or figs (optional)
  • A handful of fresh grapes or apple slices
  • Small bowl of mustard or spicy honey for dipping

Instructions

  1. Slice the salami thinly, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  2. Cut the hard cheese into bite-sized chunks or thin slices, roughly 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces.
  3. Lay down your serving board or plate and place small bowls for olives, nuts, and mustard/honey spread around the edges.
  4. Arrange the salami slices in gentle folds or small piles around the board.
  5. Scatter the cheese pieces in clusters opposite the salami for visual balance.
  6. Fill in gaps with crackers, placing them in small stacks or fanned out.
  7. Add pickles or cornichons beside the olives for a tangy pop.
  8. Scatter nuts and dried fruit around for texture and bursts of sweetness.
  9. Place grapes or apple slices in small bunches around the board; add fresh fruit just before serving if packed ahead.
  10. Place a small bowl of mustard or spicy honey on the board for dipping.
  11. Optionally, add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant finish.
  12. Serve immediately at room temperature; no refrigeration needed.

Notes

Use dry-cured salami and aged hard cheeses to prevent melting and spoilage without refrigeration. Assemble close to serving time for best freshness. Keep crackers separate until serving to avoid sogginess. Consume within 4-5 hours at room temperature, especially in warm weather.
