One popular food trend that has taken the holiday season by storm is the Charcuterie Board.

1. Choose a Theme: Before creating your charcuterie board, it’s essential to decide on the theme. Consider the holiday season, the colors, and the flavors.
2. Set Your Platter: When selecting a platter, try to select one that has enough space to sprawl out your food items. A popular choice is a wooden board or slate. Pick a few small dishes for any dips or spreads you want to add. Ensure your board is appealing to the eye by mixing different foods and placing them in various patterns.
3. Select Your Meats: Charcuterie means meats cured or prepared in style derived from France, like saucisson sec and sopressata salami. There are many options, including turkey, ham, pepperoni, or roast beef. Don’t be afraid to mix and match!
4. Add Cheese: Who doesn’t love cheese? In your charcuterie board, add a selection of cheeses such as brie, gouda, cheddar, and blue cheese. Don’t forget to choose both soft and hard cheeses, too, for a beautiful contrast. Cut them into small triangles so they are easy to grab and eat.
5. Include Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables: Consider mixing in seasonal fruits like cranberries, berry skewers, and pomegranates, and add some vegetables like carrots, olives, and cucumbers. The colors of these fruits and veggies add an excellent touch to your board and give a naturally sweet and fresh flavor amidst all the savory items.
Building your Charcuterie board is a fun, interactive, and effortless way to create an impressive presentation for your guests. It allows everyone to join in the fun of creating their personalized snacks to suit their tastes. Remember to get creative, keep your board eye-catching, and mix your flavors and colors.
