I have totally fallen in love with grazing boards and after showing mine off on Instagram this Thanksgiving, I thought I’d share just how quick and easy it is to make a charcuterie board.
We are well into the holiday season and though things make look a little we are all looking for ways to make our home celebrations a bit more fun.
This year I wanted to do something a little special for the family so I made this charcuterie tray and man was it a hit!
So what is a Charcuterie Board?
Basically a charcuterie board is a super modern cheese, cracker and meat tray or a new spin on your average veggie tray. It’s fancier and the ingredients being more quality or higher end.
Ingredients you need
Charcuterie trays need a few basic things.
Fruit like Grapes or dried fruits
Cured meats like pepperoni and Salami
You can also add humus for any vegan and vegetarian options.
A nice charcuterie board or serving tray to display your foods.
You can also purchase lunchable style small plates that have the ingredients for a charcuterie tray in them.
I bought a lot of my ingredients from ALDI. They are my go to grocery store and they have cheap charcutierie board ingredients. I purchased smoked Gouda for cutting into chunks, pepper jack cheese slices, Olive mix, round crackers and honey glazed almonds. I added fresh cranberries for a festive touch.
The white marble serving tray came from ALDI as well. I think I spent under $10 for it. Probably around 7 bucks.
How to make Salami roses
The most comments I got were from the Salami roses. They are super easy to make. Simply for a piece in half and roll it. Continue to roll a new piece of meat around the last piece and so on.
