Building Your Own Dairy Free Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are such a versatile platter option for different occasions or just a casual night at home. I love building these boards for brunch, dinner parties, appetizer nights, birthday parties or even desserts. Typically charcuterie boards contain different styles of cheese, meats and bread with preserves, fruit, nuts and chocolate, however you can build these to include/exclude anything you want.
