Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Slice the kiwi, cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot into visually appealing shapes. Hull and halve the strawberries and halve the cherry tomatoes.

    Arrange the Board: Choose a large wooden or slate board as your serving platter. Begin placing the larger items first: group the fresh fruits in one section, the sliced veggies in another, and then set aside areas for the proteins, dips, and crackers.

      Add the Proteins: Neatly arrange the sliced turkey and cheese around the fruit and vegetable sections. You can fold the turkey slices for an elegant presentation.

        Dips and Spreads: Scoop the hummus into a small bowl and place it on the board. Drizzle the olive tapenade or pesto in another small bowl and place it adjacent to the hummus. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt nearby for a creamy touch.

          Final Touches: Fill the spaces with whole-grain crackers and baguette slices, ensuring an appealing balance on the board. Scatter roasted nuts over the top to add texture.

            Garnish: Finally, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a beautiful finishing touch and to infuse some aromatic flavors.

              Serve and Enjoy: This healthy charcuterie board is ready to serve! Pair it with a refreshing drink of your choice and enjoy the colorful spread with family and friends.
