Charcuterie
Skip the bowls! Make a holiday charcuterie board the best part of your party. Skewer olives, cheese, tomatoes and meat for a unique take on this classic crowd-pleaser. Garnish with bright herbs and holiday colors for some festive flair.
Prefer to satisfy your sweet tooth? Round up fresh fruit, chocolates and nuts for this year's hot trend: dessert charcuterie boards. If you're ready to build the perfect charcuterie, here are three quick tips:
1. Start with the cheese. Bold flavors like blue cheese, feta or gouda work well with meats, veggies and crackers. Planning a sweeter board? Aim for milder cheeses like goat, brie or ricotta.
2. Think outside the deli. You don't have to limit your charcuterie board to meat and cheese—round things out with the crunch of popcorn, nuts or pretzels.
3. Don't forget dips. Garnishes can elevate your board! Try jams, creamy spreads or sauces like horseradish, mustard or barbecue.
