Summer Inspired Charcuterie Board

Happy Friday you guys! Wow its been a minute since I have build a charcuterie board! I missed it so much and it was great to be back building them. During quarantine I really had no reason to make one just because it was just me and Dustin. I made one back in March but we ended up taking it back apart and eating it just in bits here and there. I was so happy to make this one because Dustin and I actually had it for dinner the other night. I like building them because it is usually a conversation started when I bring them to parties and get togethers. For this one, Dustin got back from the airport around 2pm and I needed to be at the airport the next morning at 5am. So we had this for a little catch up date night! It was perfect, I think it worked for dinner because it wasn’t all meat and cheese, I added fruit and tons of different textures!

I always love putting together videos when I build boards because they are so fun to watch! You get to see the progression of the board and really my thoughts as I put it together. Nine times out of ten I change my mind and rearrange things up until the very end! You can see the video below!!

What is your favorite thing to put on a charcuterie board? Mine definitely changes with the season but usually a reallllly good aged cheddar must make it onto my boards. But surprisingly my favorite thing on this one was the rosemary asiago! OMG YUM. It is freakin’ delish. I would love to hear what your favorite thing is on a board.
