Equipment
- Charcuterie Board
- Ramekins and Dip Bowls
- Cheese Knives, etc
Ingredients
- 3 oz Cured or smoked meats see post for suggestions
- 3 oz Cheese see post for suggestions
- Crackers see post for suggestions
- Produce Sauces, Snack Items, and Garnishes as desired - see post for suggestions.
Instructions
Place the Main Items
- Place your focal point items - wheels or chunks of cheese, sauce ramekins, dip bowls, etc - on the charcuterie tray. In this case, I started with red and purple grapes, to set the outer colours on the board.
- Place your meats roughly where you’d like them to go, then place your remaining cheeses. Try to set these major items out such that you'll have relative even sections of colour.
Fill in the Secondary Items
- Arrange sections of your starches - crackers, cookies, bread - if including them on the board. For this Rainbow charcuterie board I set the crackers off on their own, to not distract from the bright colours.
- Place sections of your “Munchies” items, filling in any larger empty spaces.
Final Touches
- Arrange your meat and cheese slices more artfully, if desired.
- Fill in any sparsely covered areas with more meat, cheese, produce, etc.
- Add dips to the bowls, if applicable, then garnish as desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
