Grazing Table (Easy & Delicious!)

A grazing table doesn't require any cooking and in only 30 minutes you can have this show stopping meal (yes, it's that hearty) for 40 guests! And don't worry, you can pair it down if needed for your size of gathering. Because when it comes to entertaining, a grazing table is the perfect way to serve, and impress, a large crowd with minimal effort. Charcuterie is fitting for any season with a variety of textures and flavors that you can cater to any gathering or theme.

Notes

Pro Tip: Add some fresh flowers to your grazing table to take your spread to the next level.

Pro Tip: If you want less clean up mess, add some wax paper to the board first

Pro Tip: The cups are especially great for berries, olives and anything with “juices” so they don’t get your other board ingredients soggy

Storing and make ahead

You can prep most of the ingredients ahead of time and store them in the firdge overnight or until you're ready to serve. Prepping the meats, cheeses, fruits, and veggies will save you so much time day of. This way, you can just throw everything on the board and serve!

I recommend storing leftover meats, cheeses ,fruits, and other perishables in airtight containers in the fridge. Crackers, breads, cookies, etc. can be stored in a ziplock baggie at room temperature.
