How to arrange a Charcuterie Board:
First, choose your board.
Start with the cheese: We start with the cheese because it anchors the board.
Slice and add the meat. Adding toothpicks makes them easy to pick up and dip!
Add savory and sweet accompaniments. Fill in all the extra space with crackers.
Garnish with greens or festive/season décor if desired!
