The Ultimate Easter Charcuterie

Charcuterie boards are one of the easiest ways to impress your guests with minimal effort. The below recipe is one example of a spring-inspired board, but the combinations are endless! Charcuterie is one of my favorite things to include when I entertain because it invites guests to gather around the table and build their perfect bite.

Notes

Charcuterie Tips:

Start with the largest items, such as the cheeses or maybe certain bowls that you know you want to use.
Decide if you want a fun shape, such as a curve in your crackers or a salami rose. Place your shape next and build around it.
Cover the whole board by using your smaller items as fillers. Do you see a smidge of the board between a bowl and some cheese? Fill it with some nuts, olives, or blueberries!
Finish with a garnish. Mini daisies, a fresh flower, or fresh herbs.

Bonus tip: Don't be afraid to make store-bought items your own. For example, I often make Moroccan Honey or Thai Hummus simply by mixing my spice blends into the basic honey or hummus. It adds a little unexpected flair!
