These Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Boards Will Help You Set the Mood on Feb. 14
Valentine’s Day is exactly what you want to make of it, so whether that means a romantic evening out or a sweatpants-and-pizza kind of vibe, it can be an extremely special day. Whether you’re at one extreme or the other (or somewhere in between), every kind of celebration should include a themed charcuterie board. What’s better for Feb. 14 than cheeses, meats, and, of course, wine?
For the past few years, people have been posting their Valentine’s Day charcuterie board creations on social media. From the outside looking in, the boards can look a bit intimidating. After all, how do you make those salami roses anyway? But by adding just a few festive elements into the game, you too can build something worth posting about.
Ready to start? For a classic charcuterie board, you should start with cheeses, meats, and crackers. Don’t be afraid to bust out a cookie cutter to turn that cheddar into a heart-shaped bite. From there, you can add in some sweet elements, including fruit, like strawberries (which you can cut into hearts, too!), chocolates, cookies, or whatever your heart desires. Bonus points if your choices are red, pink, and white to fit in with Valentine’s Day.
To put the finishing touches on your charming charcuterie board, try adding a fresh flower or two to bring color and a romantic look. Take a look at the boards below to start your inspiration, and who knows — maybe they’ll convince you to snag heart-shaped dishes of your own. Just remember that there’s no such thing as screwing this up, so let your creativity run wild.
