There are many times David and I want something quick and light for dinner. Sometimes we’ve had a busy day and are simply too tuckered out to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. We rarely, if ever, eat fast food and only occasionally dine out. That’s why we keep our pantry and fridge stocked with healthy foods we enjoy, like a simple fruit and Cheese platter.
Fruit and cheese platters are delicious and satisfying. You can make one in a matter of minutes with staples you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but wow … you can feel as if you’re dining in a five-star restaurant with a bit of creativity.
Ingredients: your choice of
Directions:
- Serve your cheese with a cheese slicer or slice it beforehand.
- Cut up your desired fruit into easy to grab-and-eat pieces.
- Arrange your cheese, fruits, nuts and crackers on a serving platter.
Easy peasy and oh so good!
The weather here in Southern California has been very hot. Too hot to enjoy being outdoors during the day. So in the evening, when the air cools down, we make plans to sit outside on the patio. We even had a movie night with a fruit and Stella® Cheese platter for dinner. It was fabulous. We watched one of my favorite movies with a French countryside background. Sitting under the stars while munching on fruit and cheese made for a tasty and memorable evening. We didn’t have to heat the kitchen with cooking and never left the house for our theater setting. It was perfect!
Stella® Artisan Cheeses have been around since 1923. They offer a broad selection of fine cheeses crafted with a rich heritage of Italian cheesemaking. From shredded to crumbled and sharp to sweet, they have a cheese to satisfy any cravings.
We used Kasseri and Gorgonzola on our fruit and cheese platter, but Stella® has many more selections to choose from including:
- Asiago
- Rosemary Medium Asiago
- Fontina
- Fontinella
- Italian Sharp
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan
- Mediterranean Parmesan

An excellent variety and excellent taste!

I love Stella Cheeses. My husband and I lived in Minneapolis for a short time and became hooked on fancy cheese platters with fruit!
