Cheeseboards excite me. They’re like a theme park of my favorite foods. I love sugar just like anyone else who was born with tastebuds, but – I do think I might like salty foods just as much. Ok, that was a lie, I like them even more.
I like to see the board as a blank canvas and have fun with designing it. I don’t follow any strict rules, I just do what I think looks pretty!
My vegan cheeseboard consists of:
- Fruits that are in season
- My favorite vegan cheeses
- My favorite vegan delis (which I also cut and fold into different shapes)
- My favorite dips
- My favorite olives (my favorite way to serve olives is to sauté them with olive oil, garlic, orange peels, rosemary, and orange juice).
- A few of my favorite nuts
- My favorite crackers
- My favorite fresh flowers and herbs for that extra pop of color
The Ultimate Vegan Cheeseboard
Ingredients
- your favorite crackers
- your favorite fruits that are in season
- olives
- your favorite vegan cheeses (I like follow your heart and violife)
- your favorite vegan deli (I like tofurkey)
- your favorite nuts (I like cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, and walnuts)
- your favorite dips (I like to make my own)
- fresh flowers / edible flowers
Directions
- Start with choosing a board. It doesn’t matter what the board looks like because it will be covered with goodies.
- Place the crackers, cheese, and deli first in different patterns, you can cut the deli into shapes like hearts, or fold them into ribbons.
- Then add the fruit. I like to use fruit that is colorful and adds a pop like raspberries and passionfruit.
- Add the olives and dips, I like to place these in little bowls with cute spoons like these golden spoons I found on amazon.
- Add your nuts! The nuts will be perfect to fill out any “dead” space. You want to make sure there isn’t any space left.
- Finally, my favorite part – add some flowers! As you can probably tell, I LOVE flowers. Many people will say to only use edible flowers but I don’t think that’s crucial. I think most people are smart enough to distinguish between edible and non-edible flowers, however, if you are having kids over – maybe skip this step or only use edible flowers.
- Enjoy!
- Add breadsticks! Who says you can only use crackers?
- Add “honey pot”, just put some agave or maple syrup in a jar with a honey spoon.
