Charcuterie boards are a great centre piece and so much fun! You can build your own and be creative and impress your guests with very little effort. Snack boards are a great way to incorporate veggies, fruits, bean spreads, artisan breads, gourmet crackers and plant-based cheese (with no preservatives). I like the Miyokos brand. It’s important to unwind and gather around the table and enjoy food in a relaxing atmosphere and slow down, talk and enjoy time together.

Build your own board:

You can choose the following ingredients:

• Raw vegetables (red ,yellow pepper, cumbers, broccoli, cauliflower,, zucchini,, cherry tomatoes and radishes

• Fresh fruit (grapes, apple slices, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, pears, mandarine oranges)

• Dried fruit (figs, apricots, raisins, dried cranberries, and dried mangoes all found in the dried fruit section in the website)

• Olives (marinated green olives or kalamata pitted olives or sun dried olives)

• Cheese ( try plant-based cheese with not too many ingredients you can’t pronounce- I like the Miyokos brand)

• Dips (Hummus, red beet hummus, Baba ganoush, roasted vegetable dip

• Nuts (Almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts all found in our nut section on our website)

• Crackers (pick crackers that don’t have ingredients that you can’t pronounce- there are many that have good ingredients and are wholesome and delicious)

• Bread (baguettes, or home made bread)

• Other (roasted chickpeas, tortilla chips, potato chips, sweet relishes, pickles, sweet compotes)
