Notes
- Try cutting some of the ingredients into different shapes, and make sure there's at least one ingredient from each category on each side.
- One great place to get items to add to your charcuterie board is the dollar store. There is always lots to choose from!
- Adding fresh spring flowers from your garden is a great way to accent your Easter charcuterie board. Just make sure the flowers are edible and haven't been sprayed with pesticides.
- Charcuterie boards are better when they're prepared fresh. If they are prepared too far in advance, some of the ingredients will begin to deteriorate.
- Making a list of the categories before you go shopping can help you remember the rule of 3-3-3-3 (selecting 3 items from four specific categories).
- Don't forget to check your cupboards and fridge for ingredients you may already have, such as crackers and sweets.
