Midwest Charcuterie Board

Mustard ((see note 1))

Pepper jelly (over cream cheese (see note 2))

Dill dip (with fresh vegetables (see note 3))

sausage beef

Mini cheese balls ((see note 5))

Ham and pickle roll ups ((see note 6))

Mozzarella pretzel sticks ((see note 7))

Cheese (sliced

Crackers ((see note 9))

Olives ((see note 10))

Red grapes ((see note 11))

pecans ((see note 12))

Bread ((see note 13))

herbs,

Start by creating some anchor points with any bowls you want to use. Space out dishes of pepper jelly, mustards, olives, and dill dip in a few central spots on the board. From there, you can work outward, using the bowls to support stacks of crackers, hold up apple slices, and bolster up sliced bread.

Next, the heavy stuff. Mini cheese balls can piled up into a mini mountain. Slice up the meats and cheeses into finger-friendly pieces and arrange them in luscious piles, layering and overlapping when needed to make it beautiful (Martha calls it &quot;shingling.&quot;) Have fun with this; make it symmetrical or random, orderly or chaotic. I do tend to keep like with like, in case there&#039;s a specific thing someone needs to avoid; it also makes replenishing the board easier. If you&#039;re leaving chunks of cheese for guests to cut themselves, make sure it&#039;s accessible on the board.

Fill in the gaps with whatever you have: sliced fruit, crackers, breadsticks, baguette, sugared cranberries, peanuts, pistachios, toasted walnuts, you name it. Garnish with herbs, flowers, and finally, add forks, spreaders, and picks where needed.

Who doesn&#039;t love appetizers, especially when they&#039;re healthy? This charcuterie platter is a great way to add some healthy snacks to the mix!

This board can be assembled any way you like, but here is how we do it:

Place the small bowls of dip on opposite sides of the board.

Fold, or roll the deli meats. Place the pepperoni along one side of the tray. Put the salami along a different side and the prosciutto on a third side.

Add the different cheese cubes on opposite sides of each other.

Place the different types of crackers and pretzels around the board.

Finally, fill in any empty spots with the nuts and produce.

Be sure to place out serving prongs or toothpicks near the tray.
