The Summer Charcuterie Formula

The Law of 3

I like the idea of everything coming in threes on a charcuterie board. This is, of course, not a hard-and-fast rule. However, if you don’t know where to start, just remember the law of three.

🧀 3 kinds of cheese – one soft cheese (like brie or goat cheese), one hard cheese (like smoked gouda, sharp cheddar, or parmesan), and one cheese of choice (whatever is standing out to you at the store!)

🍖 3 kinds of meats – one hard (like salami or soppressata), one soft (like prosciutto), one meat of choice (maybe something peppered or a spicy option)

🍯 3 kinds of dip or spreads – such as hummus, honey, olive tapenade, balsamic reduction, or various jams

3 kinds of “snacks” – such as nuts, olives, pickles, sundried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers

🍇 at least 3 colors – in your fruit and veggie display (such as watermelon paired with nectarine and green grapes)

🥖 3 types of carbs – a variety of crackers, breadsticks, and bread

Finish it off by considering your garnish. I love using miniature daisies for an unexpected visual. Or you can use herbs such as fresh thyme, mint, rosemary, or dill.
