How to Create a Christmas Charcuterie Board
This holiday season, create a simple appetizer that wows even the pickiest eaters with a charcuterie board. When in doubt, charcuterie board it out. Promise.
How to create a charcuterie board:
Start with a cutting board, lazy suzan or large plate.
Add some small + medium bowls.
Fill the bowls.
Place a variety of fruits, veggies, snacks, nuts to your board.
Create a fun dip that is the centerpiece.

To create this specific Christmas Charcuterie Board appetizer:
Fill a small bowl with Christmas candy corn found at Sprouts Farmer’s Market.
Fill a small bowl with Coconut Reddi Wip also found at Sprout’s Farmer’s Market.
Fill a third small bowl with Three Peaks Manuka Honey.
Fill a medium sized bowl with yogurt. We love So Delicious Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative. Add a small amount of green food coloring, sprinkles for a crown, candy eyes + the top of a strawberry for a nose.
Place around board: zucchini slices + strawberries + sunflower seeds + banana chips + raspberries + peanut brittle + pear slices.
The best part about creating a charcuterie board? There are no rules. Create what you like. Use what you have. If you are making a board for your kids, include a few foods you know they love + also include some foods you hope they will try, this is a great opportunity for a positive exposure to new foods.
Of course, if you are creating a board for guests, check to see if they have any allergies. If so, the board should be free from any allergens as cross contamination can cause an anaphylactic reaction + it can also cause a severe reaction for people with Celiac Disease. It is not safe for people living with these conditions to eat or pick around a food. Hugs + thank you for your kindness towards all people living with a food related condition or disease.
