The keys to a great charcuterie board

  • A variety of cheese (include hard and soft cheese)
  • Nuts (almonds, cashews, and pistachios)
  • Fruits (Choose based on the season, but berries, oranges, figs, and kiwis all add a variety of color and flavor)
  • Dried Fruits (Try apricots, dried lemons or oranges, freeze-dried strawberries)
  • Vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, celery, snap peas)
  • Crackers (pretzel sticks, gluten-free crackers)
  • Meats
  • Olives
  • Hummus, honey, dijon mustard, olive tapenade or other dips

Steps

Step 1) Arrange the board: Start by placing any bowls or ramekins on the table. Plan to use them for nuts, olives, fruits, dips, etc. Avoid placing them all close together and space them out so that they are easily accessible from along the table.

Step 2) Add cheese and place crackers nearby

Step 3) Add meat

Step 4) Add fruits and vegetables

Step 5) Fill in gaps with nuts or dried berries

Keep toothpicks near the board

Use a variety of container heights and sizes to arrange items. Height adds dimension.
