During the Holidays, most of us know personally that things can sometimes get hectic. It can be simple and comforting to not have to worry about making a large meal for your family and guests, but instead to have a charcuterie board (also called a snack board) for a meal or to use an appetizer. You can use whatever ingredients you want and tailor it to your family members’ and guests’ wants and needs. We’re giving you some charcuterie board ideas that are Whole30 and/or Paleo friendly, but you can use whatever you want on your board.
Along with the simplicity, charcuterie boards are an easy way to have an elegant meal or something elegant to snack on throughout the day. You can serve any beverage with these also! Juices, wine, champagne, sparkling water, and even healthy soda (for homemade so.
And if you really want to get into it, you can have a lot of fun with snack board themes. For example, you can make an “Italian” board by including olives, tomato, mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, etc. You can make it Indian by including naan bread, a few curries for dips, pakoras, sliced cucumbers, mango slices, etc.

Here’s how to build your charcuterie board:
First, as you plan out what you’ll have on your charcuterie board, aim for a sensory explosion with your ingredients – sweet, salty, crunchy, firm, soft, etc.
Aim for 2 or 3 different types of meats and cheeses.
Make sure you allow meats and soft cheeses to come to room temperature before serving.
Allow 3-4 ounces each of meat and cheese for each guest.
Instead of crackers, if you are eating grain-free or gluten-free, you can use pork rinds (buy here) or Simple Mills crackers (find here).
And veggies like cucumbers make an excellent “cracker” to put dips on!
Dips could include guacamole, homemade salad dressing, tapenade, nut butter (for the fruit), salsa, tahini, and more!
And you can add nuts, fruit (add smaller fruits and cut up fruits), cut up and sliced veggies, and more to your snack board.
We hope you enjoy your holidays as you move into a New Year! And we hope that healthy living will play a large part in your upcoming year. We are here to help!
