Vegan Cheese Board 101

Jan 4

Written By Rated V

Impress your friends and family at holiday parties or just get-togethers with a vegan cheese board/ charchuterie that will have a variety of delicious snacks both savory and sweet. Watch video above.

So on a wooden cutting board add a few small dishes to add depth: these are filled with olives, a vegan cream cheese I mixed with Romesco and granulated garlic and last one jam. And you want to spread them out on the platter of your choice because all the other goodies will go in-between. Next you fill in the gaps with the cheese cut into different shapes. I’ve chosen cashew based artisan style cheese like sun dried tomato and the other of floral herbs. See links below for some of my favorite cheese brands and where they can be found.

It’s always good to add some kind of fruit, whatever you have on hand is fine, I had tangerines but pears, apples and grapes work very well too.
Now the carbs! Different breads and cracker varieties are good. Try not to use just one kind. I’ll be adding crackers in a bit.
Nuts are a must. Almonds ,walnuts, pecans etc really good compliments and you want to add them to the gaps throughout the platter
The more filled the better.
Add crackers for variety
And now vegan meats for a savory touch. I’m using violife vegan ham. you can cut in half like me or lay them flat or fold depending on your platter size.
Dried fruit! I like adding dates to a cheese platter to add sweetness and texture. Add these to corners next to cheeses and any gaps you see fit

And voila now your ready to impress and enjoy!
