Method

Wash the produce

Pull apart the lettuce leaves, then rinse them, the Crisp Eating Apples, tomatoes, and cucumber under cold water. Pat everything completely dry and trim away any bruised or tired-looking bits so the board stays crisp and fresh.

Slice everything

Slice the Mature Cheddar Cheese (thick-cut) into sturdy pieces, cut the Crusty Bread (cob or baguette, sliced) into thick slices if needed, and cut the apples, tomatoes, and cucumber into wedges or neat slices. Cut the Butter into small pats so it is easy to spread at the table.

Assemble the platter

For 5 servings, lay the lettuce on a large board or platter and fan out the bread, cheddar, apple wedges, tomatoes, and cucumber. Add the Branston Pickle to a small bowl or spoon it into a neat pile, tuck in the Pickled Onions (silverskin), and set out the English Mustard and butter pats on the side. Serve immediately so the bread stays crisp and the salad stays fresh.
