What does Charcuterie mean?
Charcuterie is the art of preparing meats which are often cured or smoked such as bacon, ham or salami.
Charcuterie boards usually include cured meats, cheeses, and a variety of dried fruits and nuts to compliment them.
They are popular at restaurants and parties and they are the perfect keto appetizer or keto finger food.
Often, charcuterie boards include crackers. You can swap the crackers for keto crackers, cheese crisps, or pork rinds ... or all three!
How to make a Keto Charcuterie Board
A keto charcuterie board is basically a meat and cheese board, but we’re going to include some other keto friendly snacks to round it out and make it pretty.
It’s very easy to prepare a charcuterie and you can find absolutely everything you need at most grocery stores.
You’re going to want to use a large plate, cheese board or platter, or wooden cutting board to build your keto charcuterie board.
Meat: Use a variety of meats when you build your keto charcuterie board. Go crazy with the meats.
Cheese: Use a variety of cheese, soft and hard. I like to serve the cheese in slices or cubes. I also like to include blue cheese crumbles.
Cheese Crisps and Pork Rinds: You can use sliced keto breads, keto crackers, cheese crisps, and/or pork rinds. We like to keep it simple.
Fruit & Nuts: Both dried and fresh fruit work. For the nuts, make sure they're salted.
Pickles, Olives and Dips: Use your favorite keto dip, pickles, and olives to keep your charcuterie board low carb. I've included links below to a couple of my favorite keto dips. Mix things up by adding our crisp cucumber salsa.
Chocolate and sweets: Sometimes I add a keto friendly chocolate or dried cranberries, for a touch of sweetness to go with the cheese.
You can find almost all of these ingredients pre-packaged at the store.
