Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, wash and slice your fruits the night before. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Choose Seasonal Fruits: Opt for seasonal berries and fruits for the best flavor and freshness. You can mix and match based on what’s available!
- Experiment with Yogurt: While Greek yogurt is a fantastic base, feel free to try flavored yogurts or even dairy-free alternatives to suit your taste.
- Add Variety: Don’t hesitate to include other toppings like seeds, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and nutrition.
- Mind the Presentation: Arrange your ingredients in a visually appealing way, using different heights and colors to create an eye-catching display.
- Serve with Style: Use a large wooden board or platter for a rustic look, and consider adding small serving utensils or spoons for a more polished presentation.
- Enjoy at Room Temperature: For the best taste, serve your charcuterie board at room temperature, allowing the flavors to shine through.
