garlic olives

This festive charcuterie board is built in the shape of a Christmas tree with cheese, fruit, cucumbers, candied ginger, and rosemary! It&#39;s easy to make using a string to build the outline of a tree that you simply fill in with rows of goodies.

Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board (for beginners!)

semi-hard cheeses

red grapes

marcona almonds

cucumbers

rosemary

salami

raspberries

ginger

crackers

olives

honey

Select a cheese board that is big enough to create your tree shape. I used a wooden board with metal rim, which is 18 inches in diameter.

Take a roll of string and create an even triangle shape on the board, taping each of the 3 corners of the triangle to the board so it stays in place.

Use one layer of crackers to create the 1st row in the tree at the bottom of the triangle. Then add sticks of cheese, and a row of purple grapes above that.

Above the grapes place two rows of sliced mini cucumber.

The next layer is marcona almonds (you can lightly mound these to fill in).

Then add two layers of raspberries. And then a good amount of cubed cheese above that.

Folded salami is the next layer, and then crackers come in again to fill things in above.

Top the tree with cheese that is cut into stars or snowflakes.

Scatter candied ginger amongst the ingredients to add some sparkle, and wedge in stalks of fresh rosemary between some of the rows to create the look of a tree. Then scatter in a few round olives to look like ornaments. Carefully remove the string that is taped to the board. Serve with honey on the side.
