Summer entertaining is meant to be easy and a charcuterie board is the epitome of easy entertaining with no recipe to follow and minimal prep required. Whether you want to create a simple snack board or something more elaborate, the choice is up to you! The first thing to be decided is whether the charcuterie board will be served as an appetizer or a light dinner, and how many people it needs to serve. It can be as small or large as you want/need them to be. Once that is determined, you can begin to think about what items to include, and summer with its abundance of fresh produce, provides countless options and combinations. Use the season’s bounty as a guide when creating the perfect board that is bursting with diverse flavors, colors and textures. Be sure to pair your board with some of your favorite wines or add some fun with a wine tasting… here’s how !

Summer means picnics and if you’re planning to head out to the lake or park, keep in mind that some foods travel better than others. Salads, deviled eggs, cheeses, fresh fruits, veggies and dips make great starters and sides since they are easy to prep, pack, transport and serve.
