Creativity is king

Add color
Using pops of orange carrots, purple grapes, red strawberries and many more brightly-colored finger foods make any board even more appetizing.

Ditch the board
Shallow bowls make the perfect place for a private charcuterie party, while an entire table can be used for bigger gatherings. You can even use cups for easy place settings or outdoor gatherings!

Add a dollop
Set dips in small bowls placed over ice to keep them fresh!

Make sure to balance salty and sweet and be prepared to refill as the night goes on. Enjoy!
