Method
 

Preparation:
  1. Clean the charcuterie board and all of your fruits and vegetables. Pat to dry thoroughly.
  2. Cut baby carrots and peppers into small slices.
  3. Separate out the grapes into small bunches so people can pick up freely.
  4. De-stem the cherries.
  5. NOTE: Do not cut the apple just yet, to prevent browining.
Styling Your Vegan Charcuterie Board:
  1. First, place all of your larger items on the board in desired places. Things like the cheese wheel, small dishes and bowls filled with hummus and nuts.
  2. Second, arrange the grapes, cherries, and tomatoes.
  3. Next add the sliced carrots and peppers.
    NOTE: If you'd like, it's a nice idea to arrange these near the hummus or cheeses.
  4. Slice up the apple and place it on the charcuterie board.
  5. Add the crackers and biscuits.
  6. Finally top off the board with delicious dark chocolate peppermints or almonds.
  7. Place a cheese knife into the vegan cheese wheel, and a small serving spoon into the hummus dish.
  8. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Feel free to mix up your food choices. This is just an example for you to get started.
  • If you do not have a wooden board, you can always use other types of boards including a cutting board.
  • You can also line a baking sheet with either unbleached parchment paper or a cotton or linen napkin to make a beautiful board.
  • To prepare your board in advance, place all of the items that can be refrigerated on the board. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Wait to place the dry food items, like the crackers, biscuits, nuts, and seeds, so they don't get soggy.
  • 30-minutes before reveal time, take the semi-prepared charcuterie board out of the fridge, and allow it to get to room temperature for the best flavor.
  • Finish preparing your board with all of the dry ingredients, etc.
  • ENJOY!
