Decide which charcuterie board idea you'd like to try. Then find a large board or platter you'd like to use.
Place the largest cheese and mini bowls onto a large board or platter. In individual small serving bowls, add anything that has juices.
To make the board, start by thinking how you want it to look before placing anything. Then arrange each bowl.
Place the meat on opposite ends of the platter. Add remaining meat, either folded or in piles, away from the other meat. Position the cheese around the meat.
Arrange the fruits and veggies in individual piles between the meat and cheese. Finally, add the crackers and bread (or on another serving board if there isn't enough room).
Add the smaller ingredients last to fill in any empty spaces. For some color and texture add some fresh sprigs of rosemary.
Notes
Where to shop: I love to find my ingredients at specialty shops such as Trader Joes, Whole foods and Costco.Make it yours: This recipe card is simply a guide to start. Make it yours by using your favorite snack foods. Try to get a variety of sizes, color, texture and flavors.Make-ahead: You can assemble the board and cover in plastic wrap. I like to add crackers and bread just before serving. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Remove 20 minutes before serving.
