A quick and affordable charcuterie snack board perfect for feeding a crowd of 10 with simple, budget-friendly ingredients that balance savory, sweet, and crunchy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz sliced deli ham or turkey
  • 5 oz salami slices
  • 7 oz cheddar cheese, sliced or cubed
  • 5 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups assorted crackers (whole grain or multigrain recommended)
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes (optional)
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced (preferably Honeycrisp)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for mixing into cream cheese
  • 1 small jar mustard or grainy mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese spread by mixing softened cream cheese with about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs. Stir well, season with salt or pepper if desired, and chill until ready to serve.
  2. Slice the cheddar cheese into bite-sized cubes or thin slices. Thinly slice the apple and optionally squeeze lemon juice over slices to prevent browning.
  3. Arrange the salami and deli ham slices on the board, folding or rolling them for visual appeal.
  4. Fill gaps on the board with assorted crackers and sprinkle roasted chickpeas in clusters for crunch, leaving space for dips.
  5. Scatter green grapes and apple slices around the board to balance colors and textures.
  6. Spoon the herb cream cheese into a ramekin, place mustard in another, and drizzle honey or maple syrup over some cheese cubes or fruit on the board.
  7. Fill any empty spots with extra crackers, fruit, or herbs for a full, abundant look.

Notes

Pre-sliced deli meats and cheese save time. Prepare cheese and fruit slices a day ahead and keep refrigerated. Assemble board just before serving to keep fresh. Use lemon juice to prevent apple browning. Keep dips chilled until serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers or veggie sticks. Roasted chickpeas are a great nut alternative.
