  6. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is arranged nicely, add small bowls for any dips or spreads. Your charcuterie board is ready to impress!

Notes

Seasonal Ingredients: Use fresh, in-season fruits and veggies. Color Matters: A colorful board is more appealing. Personal Touch: Include a few of your favorites to make it unique.
