Charcuterie Made Easy: Make This Party Cheeseboard in a Flash!

Step 1

Place goat cheese in a small bowl and cover with fig jam.  Place the bowl in the middle of your charcuterie platter.

Step 2

Wrap each of the 16 pieces of string cheese with a piece of the thinly sliced Italian dry salami.  Place the salami-wrapped string cheese next to one end of the goat cheese/fig jam bowl, arranging in a criss-cross pattern.

Step 3

Arrange sliced cheeses around the sides of the goat cheese/fig jam bowl.

Step 4

Place cube cheese (in this case, Parmesan cheese), at opposite corners of your platter or tray.

Step 5

Arrange grape tomatoes at opposite corners of your platter.

Step 6

Arrange green olives at opposite corners of your platter, tucking around grape tomatoes and Parmesan cheese cubes.

Step 7

Place crackers in a separate divided dish OR, if space is available, arrange on the cheeseboard here and there.

Step 8

Tuck arugula into the spaces for a pretty presentation.
