What’s a cheese plate but a salad you haven’t tossed yet? Here fancy ham, funky cheese, and juicy seasonal fruit become a side dish even greater than the sum of its parts thanks to the addition of a black-pepper-spiked agrodolce drizzle. Seek out Danish blue cheese specifically to cut into thin slabs—it’s milder in flavor and holds its shape better when sliced than other varieties.
