SPRING CHARCUTERIE BOARD RECIPES

Steps:

• Grab a large platter or two, you can use cutting boards, ceramic platters, slate cheese boards, marble slabs, etc.
• Artfully arrange where you want your cheese selection and jars, bowls of olives, jams, and antipasti to go, then place varieties of meat slices and rolled up meats around.
• Scatter crackers and bread sticks to fill up space, then add your fruit, nuts, and herbs to make keep the colors balanced and beautiful.

Steps:

• Grab your board or preferred serving platter, along with any small bowls (for wet ingredients) and knives or spoons for serving. 
• Optional: spread a layer of parchment or wax paper over the board to keep the fats/oils from the meat & cheese from seeping into the wood.
• Slice or cube the meats & cheeses (if needed), then wash & prep the veggies and fruit. 
• Arrange all the ingredients on the board, starting with the meats & cheeses, followed by the fruits & veggies, then the wet ingredients in small bowls (olives, dips, sauces, condiments). Fill in any gaps with crackers, sliced bread, nuts and bunches of leafy greens. 
• Serve immediately with toothpicks, napkins and/or small plates. Replenish popular ingredients as needed (this almost always happens with crackers).
