Low Carb Lovin'
If you're looking to cut carbs, charcuterie boards are a fun way to eat. Try incorporating some low carb crackers and sliced veggies (like cucumber, jicama or radish) for some tasty crunch alongside all the delicious meats and cheeses. We like the free-form stacks on this board for a relaxed, simple supper — wine included!

Superb Shapes
Add some dimension to your charcuterie board by creating unique arrangements of the food. The cheese triangle flare created around the sauce bowl instantly catches your eye and complements the spiky sprigs of rosemary. Creating rolls or rosettes with sliced meat instantly ups presentation and is super easy. Simply wrap the slice around your finger, slide off and pinch the bottom before adding it to the platter.

Scrumptious Slices
This sweet-savory charcuterie board has the perfect mix of flavors. Cheese and crackers are delicious paired with a mix of fresh and dried fruits — even chocolate! Lay crackers and sliced fruit and cheese in a mix of serpentine shapes and fill in the gaps with smaller items like nuts, berries and candies.

Board for One
Never underestimate the simple satisfaction of a solo charcuterie board. Treat yo'self to a glass of wine and the easiest supper in the world with some torn baguette, cheese, pickles and schmears of your favorite sauces. The possibilities are endless.

Farmers Market Haul
Vegans can enjoy charcuterie too — in the form of crudité. Literally taste the rainbow with this all-veggie and hummus board. Cut veggies into bite-sized pieces and leave washed, trimmed stems on for some added rustic charm. We love the unexpected pops of color from the purple cauliflower and watermelon radish.
