Building a Charcuterie board can be intimidating, but don't fret! We've got 4 easy tips to build a charcuterie board that looks like the pros.

1) Use beautiful + fresh ingredients

It may be tempting to swipe up some grocery store cubed cheese ease, but taking time to select interesting cheeses, fruits, or veggies will add interest to the finished product! Slice your ingredients in different ways, and pair cheeses with pops of color (like green olives, or red radishes) for a show-stopping contrast on the board!

2) Dress up your ingredients

Toss plain walnuts with olive oil, salt, & dried herbs; top goat cheese with edible flowers (you can sometimes find these at your local farmers market or specialty stores - pansies are an easy edible flower that’s readily available!), or add a dollop of colorful jam on top of your brie! Get creative with easy ways to embellish each ingredient for a pop of flavor, and dimension on your platter.

3) Add Fresh Herbs

Finish your board with sprigs of fresh herbs to add a pop of color & aroma that will make your board look like a fancy restaurant!
