We\u2019re in the heart of summertime<\/a>, and you know what that means: hot<\/em> days. When the seasonal heat is at its peak, it\u2019s hard to bring myself to turn on the oven and cook. Enter these summer charcuterie boxes!<\/p>\n

Charcuterie boxes are the perfect thing to throw together on summer\u2019s hottest days–especially if you’ve got a picnic<\/a> planned. They require no cooking, and let\u2019s be honest–hot food is the last thing someone wants to eat when it\u2019s 100 degrees outside. So grab yourself a reusable or disposable container like these to-go boxes that I found online, and build your own individual charcuterie!<\/p>\n

How to Assemble Charcuterie Boxes:<\/h2>\n

The best way to assemble your box is in layers. You start with the cheese, then add meats and crackers, and then fill in with extras. Let\u2019s break this all down:<\/p>\n

I recommend picking 2-3 cheeses. You don\u2019t need to add all three types to each box, but this gives you some variety overall. Grab two kinds of meats–I recommend some salami or even prosciutto or summer sausage–and add 2-3 types of crackers. Mix a variety of flavors and shapes for taste and visual interest.<\/p>\n

Now to the extras (arguably my favorite part). Fill in the gaps in your box with fresh or dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, or even a spread like preserves. Pro tip: I love buying a mini baguette and adding slices of it to the box to enjoy with fig preserves and a slice of white cheddar on top.<\/p>\n

The best thing about these boxes? They are incredibly easy to customize to each person\u2019s preferences and dietary needs. Plus, they’re so fun to build for a summer outing<\/a> with a group! Mix and match what you put in each box, and enjoy swapping bites with your friends.<\/p>\n

These are the perfect snack or light meal to pack for a picnic, a day at the beach<\/a>, or even to munch on while you watch fireworks. Charcuterie never looked so good–or so portable! Happy summer, friends! Charcuterie heaven awaits.<\/p>\n
