Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing all your fruits and vegetables under cool water. Slice the kiwi, cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot into visually appealing pieces. Hull and halve the strawberries, and cut the cherry tomatoes in half to maximize their freshness.

    Arrange the Board: Select a large wooden or slate serving board. Start by placing the larger items strategically: cluster the fresh fruits in one section, group the sliced veggies in another area, and create defined spaces for the proteins, dips, and crackers.

      Add the Proteins: Artfully arrange the sliced turkey and cheese around the fruit and vegetable sections. For an elegant touch, fold or roll the turkey slices before placing them on the board.

        Dips and Spreads: Scoop the hummus into a charming small bowl and position it on the board. Drizzle the olive tapenade or pesto into another small bowl and sit it next to the hummus. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt nearby, which will provide a creamy element.

          Final Touches: Fill any gaps on the board with a colorful display of whole-grain crackers and baguette slices, ensuring visual balance. Sprinkle the roasted nuts over the top to add crunchy texture and additional flavor.

            Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs elegantly across the board for a beautiful finishing touch and delightful aroma that complements the dish.

              Serve and Enjoy: Your healthy and colorful charcuterie board is now ready to impress! Pair it with a refreshing beverage of your choice and enjoy sharing this vibrant spread with family and friends.
