Ingredients
Christmas Charcuterie Board
- 2-3 stalks of celery
- white cheese cubes
- green olives
- black olives
- Green and red grapes seedless
- dried apricots
- pistachios shelled
- crackers
- rosemary sprigs
- caprese skewers (recipe below)

Caprese Skewers
- 1 10 oz container of cherry tomatoes
- 1 8 oz Container Mozzarella Balls
- fresh basil
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze
- Toothpicks
Instructions
CAPRESE SKEWERS
- Gather mozzarella balls, basil leaves, cherry tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and toothpicks.
- To prepare the skewers, gently puncture the end of the tomato with a toothpick and slide the toothpick lengthwise through the tomato.
- Next, pierce a basil leaf through the center and layer it alongside the tomato. Then repeat by adding a mozzarella ball to the end of the toothpick.
- Finally, using a fork or spoon drizzle with your favorite balsamic glaze.
- Set aside until you assemble the Christmas Charcuterie Board.
CHARCUTERIE BOARD
- Gather all your ingredients and a 12x18 inch wooden cutting board.
- Wash and cut celery into finger-length sticks. These will be used vertically for the base of the tree.
- Use the white cheese cubes to start the base layer of the tree. This layer should be your widest layer horizontally across your board.
- Add in your Caprese skewers, green olives, and black olives gradually narrowing the width of your layers to create a tree.
- Continue this process while adding green and red grapes, dried apricots, and pistachios.
- Add the sprigs of rosemary sporadically to mimic a tree.
- Next, layer your favorite crackers horizontally across the bottom edge of the board.
- Now it’s time to get creative and add your favorite holiday cookies or use your favorite Christmas cookie cutters for some fun holiday cheese shapes! Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Cookies and crackers tend to lose their crunch if refrigerated overnight. Instead, store those in a separate container at room temperature.
- Floppy celery stalks can be revived by soaking them in a glass of water in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- If your family has those all-day-and-into-the-evening dinners, you might try retrieving your board and putting back into the refrigerator for a second appearance later that evening. Just make sure the cheeses haven’t sat out too long. Refresh any depleted items, and serve it again!
