Putting together a Sweet and Savory Summer Tapas board is such a fun way to share a mix of delicious bites with friends or family! For this Sweet and Savory Summer Tapas board, I used fresh green grapes, juicy Bing cherries, and sweet peaches as the stars of the show. The rest of the board came from whatever I had in my kitchen, some different cheeses, breads, and crackers. Oh, and I added a little treat, the Ramps Escabeche I made earlier this summer with baby ramps. Honestly, those ramps ended up stealing the spotlight, they were such a hit!
Just as a note, many of the items on this board can be picked up ready‑made, I just happened to have everything on hand as leftovers from other meals. Feel free to add, remove, substitute, or try any of the recipes I’ve included. Make it your own and have fun with it.

Instructions
