Salt Sisters Charcuterie Platter

Aug 7, 2024

Long before charcuterie boards became the centerpiece of girls’ nights, picnics, and wine-fueled gatherings, they were a staple in Charmane’s kitchen—known then as antipasto. This recipe pays homage to those early, savory spreads: humble ingredients, layered flavors, and the kind of effortless beauty that brings people together.

What do we love most? It’s a board you can build from what’s already in your pantry or fridge—no need for fancy or fussy. Whether you’re keeping it light and snacky or turning it into a full meal with crusty bread and a homemade cheese ball, this platter is all about balance, flavor, and creativity. It's a reflection of the Salt Sisters spirit: nourishing, beautiful, and meant to be shared.

 Suggested Pairings: Tuscan Farmhouse Blend, Lemon Rosemary Garlic Infused Salt, Steakhouse Seasoning, or Herbes de Provence.
