This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Boards for Two, with 24 more boards for two. The book has the shopping list for two with amounts and prices, the prep countdown, the step-by-step build and the drink to pour.

Why it works

This board is meant to sit out for a slow afternoon, so it's lighter than most: smoked turkey alongside the salami, hummus with carrots and snap peas, and a green apple instead of anything heavy.

Brie and sharp cheddar keep it a proper cheese board, and apricot jam and mixed nuts fill the gaps. Dry rosé or sparkling cider fits an afternoon better than red. Keep the meat and cheese out no more than 2 hours, then top up from the fridge.
