Santa Charcuterie Board
This Santa charcuterie board is a fun Holiday appetizer, perfect for entertaining at home! Quick to put together and easily customized to your liking.
Ingredients
- 1 provolone cheese (see note 2)
- 3 ounce prosciutto (see note 3)
- 3 ounce salami (see note 4)
- 30 mini mozzarella balls (see note 5)
- 1 cup black olives
- 1 cherry tomato
- 1 cup grapes
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup almonds
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup dried apricots
- Ritz crackers (see note 6)
Instructions
- Get a large serving tray. Place the provolone cheese in, making sure there is enough space for the “beard”. Fill the top area and one of the sides with prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces and salami that you folded once or twice. Add mozzarella balls for the hat and beard.
- Slice 1 olive into rings. Cut the largest in half and use it for the eyes. Cut the cherry tomato in half and use one half for the nose.
- Fill the empty spaces with the rest of your ingredients.
- Serve right away.
- When making ahead: Omit crackers, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate before serving. Serve crackers on a separate plate.
Notes
- Take this recipe card as a guide only. Use any foods you like – nuts, dried fruits, salamis, crackers,… You can also add more or less of the ingredients.
- Instead of provolone cheese, feel free to use any other round cheese.
- Italian Prosciutto can be substituted with Spanish Jamon Serrano.
- Use any deli salami you like.
- If you bought mini balls that are still quite large, feel free to cut each in half.
- If you don’t have a space on your tray, serve these individually on a plate.
- Tip: Why not serve it with freshly sliced baguette and bread dipping oil? It’s a tasty companion to any charcuterie board.
