Building a Charcuterie Board isn't as complicated as one might think, and it can be a whole lot of fun. Follow a few basics, and you'll have a deliciously beautiful charcuterie board in no time.
Plan to use 2 to 3 different kinds of cheese and plant-based meats each, whether deli-style or meatballs and sausage, as we've chosen here. Use whatever appeals to you. Just estimate roughly 2 to 3 ounces of meat and about 1 ounce of cheese per person. The rest is truly up to you!
