Christmas feast: Don’t cook – add a charcuterie

If you want your Christmas feast to be delicious and diverse, but don't want to spend your whole day cooking, then you can add a charcuterie to your table.

Everyone loves it, and everyone can find something delicious for them to taste.

Here are a few Christmas charcuterie ideas you can try.

Cheese variety

Include a selection of different cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, brie, and blue cheese. Cut them into bite-sized pieces or slices for easy snacking.

Cured meats

Add a range of cured meats like salami, prosciutto, and pepperoni. Roll them up or fold them into attractive shapes.

Fresh fruits

Incorporate fresh fruits like grapes, strawberries, and slices of apple or pear. They add a refreshing and sweet element to balance the savory flavors.

Nuts

Include a mix of nuts such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts. They provide a crunchy texture and complement the other flavors on the board.

Crackers or bread

Provide a variety of crackers or slices of baguette for spreading cheese or pairing with the meats and fruits.

Dips and spreads

Offer some tasty spreads like honey, fig jam, or mustard. These add a touch of sweetness or tanginess to enhance the overall taste.

Olives and pickles

Add some briny and tangy flavors with a selection of olives and pickles. Choose different varieties like green olives, kalamata olives, or dill pickles.

Chocolate or sweets

For a festive touch, include some chocolate pieces or small sweets like chocolate-covered almonds or mini marshmallows. 

They can satisfy your sweet tooth amidst the savory options.

Fresh herbs

Sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil or rosemary over the board for a fragrant and decorative touch.
