The Beach Day Board

Surf’s up with this picnic platter that’s made for a day out on the sand. For this board, we’ve chosen firm, crumbly cheeses that won’t melt in the heat, and put together a few bright and simple original recipes to turn a basic snacking spread into a gourmet feast. To bring on the flavor, we’ve made Marinated Young Manchego, sweet Stuffed Peppadews, and a refreshing salad filled with cool labne and chili crisps that you can eat with your hands--no utensils required. Customize your own version of our Beach Day Board with your choice of chips, fruit, or your favorite summer bites.
