Charcuterie boards are such a wonderful thing to me. They can look difficult (all those different dishes and ingredients???), or they can look easy (just throw everything on a board and done). Really though, they are quite simple to make, and fun as well.

Charcuterie boards are crowd pleasers. You can make a large board with lots of variety so each person can craft their own plate, or you can keep things simpler and use only a few favorites that everyone will love. One of my favorite times to make a charcuterie board is when I want a light dinner to eat outside – warm summer evening perfection.
how to make a summer charcuterie board…
Although you should put exactly what you want on your charcuterie board, here a few things to use for a good one.
- several cheeses of different flavors and textures
- a dip or two
- several meats of different flavors and textures
- bread and/or crackers
- nuts and pickled things
- some seasonal fruit, flowers, and garnishes
And there you are! All that remains is to arrange it all on the board. I like to begin by arranging the cheeses and perhaps bowls of dip, and then stacking meats and crackers around them. Place the fruit, nuts, and pickled things in small piles on the board, and tuck the garnishes in last of all.
