Crackers:

Nuts:

Instructions
- Select a very large cutting board or platter to serve everything on.
- Start by adding the meat slices in a fanned-out fashion so that everything can see what proteins are available on the charcuterie board. It does not need to be symmetrical but be sure not to place them right next to each other.
- Next, do the same thing with the cheese but be sure to cut them down so that they are easy to access and easy to eat.
- Follow up by filling in the gaps with assorted fruits, dried fruits, fresh vegetables, and pickled vegetables.
- Place your spreads in little ramekins or jars and add them to the charcuterie board.
- Add the crackers to the outside of the board where there is space. It is ok to place them underneath some of the other items on the board.
- Finish by adding nuts to any visible gaps on the board to help make it look fuller.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare this recipe up to 1 day ahead of time if you do not add the crackers. Cover it, cracker less, in plastic and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Pull out the plate about 1 hour before ready to serve it.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It is best if you keep the crackers separate in plastic zip bags at room temperature or else, they can collect too much moisture in the refrigerator and will become too soft.
- You can absolutely swap out or use extra of every single ingredient I used in this charcuterie board. Make the recipe work for you.
