What makes charcuterie boards so great?

For starters, they are completely flexible. The foods can be changed to suit individual tastes, which is great for vegans or gluten-free vegans.

The servings can be scaled up or down depending on the number of visitors, and they can be as inexpensive (or expensive) as you wish. You can also arrange them to suit a certain theme by focusing on a particular color, place, or time of year. You don’t need to have any professional culinary experience to put these boards together, which is likely the major reason they are a must for entertaining.

Even though you don’t need to be a chef to do charcuterie boards, you may need to have a bit of a creative eye. But, you can also copy the ideas below and just replace it with your own food and snack preferences.

How to Make a Vegan Charcuterie Board

It doesn’t hurt to be a very creative person, but it’s definitely not necessary. Actually, the layout can be used as a guide or base and can be as easy as dividing the board into main groups that you want to focus on. Then, pick out items for each main food by style and what tastes good with it.

THE BASIC DESIGN OF THE PERFECT CHARCUTERIE BOARD

1. Choose a few vegan ‘meats’ or meat alternatives that require cutting, along with some soft foods.
2. Harder vegan cheeses or cheese substitutes, should be served with vegan meats.
3. Include a dip or at least one spreadable dip like vegan tzatziki or hummus.
4. Add a few complimentary snacks. Crackers, jam, bread, pickles, fruit, agave/maple syrup, and whatever else you choose are all good to go.
5. Decorate it. Consider incorporating other aesthetic elements in addition to presenting it on a beautiful wooden butcher block or marble cutting board. Small bowls and plates to contain preserves or fruit offer color and dimension, while tiny label tags are adorable and practical. And, even pieces like rosemary twigs or others to make it pretty but aren’t going to be eaten as is.
