With the unofficial start to summer quickly approaching, it’s time to start breaking out the platters and chopping boards! Nothing quite makes a party like a big pile of food that can easily be “picked” by the guests (or yourself, multiple times…).
Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy a charcuterie board:
The Classic

The traditional party plate - meat, cheese and fruit with bread on the side. You can never go wrong with this classic! Our Darling Clementines® make the perfect cheese topper or meat complement with each round of grazing…
The Early Riser

Bright, sunny mornings call for a bright, sunny breakfast! Pancakes, sizzling bacon, eggs and a zesty burst of Vitamin C, can you say yummmmmm? A board filled with all of these breakfast essentials is going to make even the latest sleeper wake up, unless your plate beats ‘em to it...
The Fruity Fresh

This board is one in a melon. These hot summer days call for a cooldown that only fresh, chopped fruit can bring. Add in all of your favorite fruits for brighter colors and bigger flavors. Remember, the more Darlings, the better!
