Here, Lindsay Kennedy shares her checklist for building a charcuterie board to remember.
- Think how many guests you will have and how much space you need on the board. Empty space can look nice if done intentionally.
- Feature at least two meats and three cheeses to keep it interesting. Plan for more if you have a larger group.
- Add something crunchy, besides crackers, like nuts that are a little bit salty and add visual texture.
- For something sweet, choose honey, jam, or certain mustards. You don’t need all three, but they will make your tray more dynamic.
