We’ve all been to a party with a killer charcuterie board and thought to ourselves, “Man, I wish I could make that myself.” But in the moment, it seems nearly impossible. We’re here to tell you that you can actually create your own board in a few easy steps right at home. Let’s take a look at some specific charcuterie boards you can create by yourself!
Eat Your Veggies!
With this type of board, you’re going to want to fill it with numerous veggies. Pick a few you love like snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, and carrots. Don’t forget the dressing either! On the board, you can place smaller dishes of ranch, bleu cheese, honey mustard, Italian dressing, and other dressings to dip your vegetables in.
So Cheesey
This board is for the cheese-lovers among us! Be sure to add a variety of different crackers laid out in a nice arrangement. As far as cheeses go, you can add a wide variety such as Gouda, Sharp Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Colby Jack, Swiss, Mozzarella, Cheddar, Provolone, Monterey Jack, and more.
The Meat of It
Start with meats such as salami, beef jerky, and pepperoni. You can even choose to arrange slices of turkey, ham, and other meats on the board. With a meat board, you can choose to add a variety of different sauces as well.
Fruit It Up!
Fruit boards are one of the easiest! For dipping sauces you can use chocolate, white chocolate, caramel, or whatever else you like. Some of the fruits we recommend include strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, grapes, raspberries, mango, watermelon, grapefruit, melons, and pineapple.
