These Charcuterie boards are always a crowd pleaser! Your guests will think you spent hours putting it together. I threw this beauty together in 15 min.
- 2-3 kinds of meats
- 2-3 kinds of cheeses
- Spreads (i.e. jalapeno jelly, tapenade)
- 2-3 kinds of crackers or breads
- Nuts
- Pickled goodies
- Vegetables (i.e. grilled veggies, cherry tomatoes)
- Fruit (i.e. grapes, strawberries)
Balance is key- sweet, savory, and salty or pickled. To keep costs down, don't buy large packages of meats, go to the deli section and ask for 10-15 extra thin slices of 2-3 different kinds. Then, gather 5 slices into a rose formation around the platter. We would love to hear how yours turned out!
Tip: Home Goods sells these boards for under $40 and they are so worth it but you can use a large cutting board, serving platter or a large cookie sheet. Make sure to balance your color, we eat with our eyes first! Enjoy!
