Instructions

  1. Rinse baby kale, arugula, and spinach thoroughly and spin dry.
  2. Toss greens gently in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup almonds and ¼ cup walnuts. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Hull and slice strawberries, halve cherry tomatoes, peel cucumber ribbons with a vegetable peeler, and chop roasted red peppers.
  5. Slice goat cheese into small rounds or crumble, slice aged cheddar into thin strips, and cube Manchego.
  6. Lay out prosciutto and salami in delicate folds.
  7. Start with the dressed greens as the base in a large serving bowl or platter.
  8. Artfully arrange cheeses, meats, fresh fruits, veggies, toasted nuts, and olives around the greens.
  9. Add dollops of hummus and labneh in small mounds.
  10. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top, scatter fresh basil and mint leaves, and drizzle any extra lemon vinaigrette.
  11. Add a pinch of cracked black pepper and a light dusting of za’atar if desired.
  12. Serve immediately for best freshness or chill for up to one hour before serving.

Notes

Prep all ingredients ahead but assemble the bowl no more than an hour before serving to keep greens fresh and crunchy. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning. Use fresh lemon juice for vinaigrette. For vegan version, substitute cheeses with plant-based alternatives and use dairy-free yogurt or cashew-based spreads. For gluten-free, avoid crackers or use certified gluten-free options.
