    Charcuterie boards are the ultimate appetizer for people-pleasing. They are easily customizable and you don't have to eat what you don't want to!

It doesn't matter if you're an avid cook, a great-looking appetizer tray like this amazing assortment of meats and cheeses is surprisingly easy to assemble! Add fruit, nuts, vegetables, dips, mustard spreads, pepper jelly, marmalade, honey, pickles, olives, and more to make a charcuterie board that everyone will love!
