Notes
Pro Tip:
To start: clean the board use a paper towel with vinegar. Once you are done using with your board, Wash it with warm water, dry completely and store.
MAKING THE SALAMI ROSE:
I used a champagne flute. Start by adding the salami slices around the opening of the glass (just like the picture above). Add enough Salami to make a big rose. Flip it over on the board and you will have the salami rose! (See pictures Above)
Frequent Asked Questions:
What can I pair the Spooky Board with?I paired the board with a dry wine Cava from Trader Joe’s as well. You can use Prosecco or semi sweet wine. If you prefer a non alcoholic beverage sparkling Italian Soda or Non Alcoholic wine. How can I make a board that is affordable? I got you! I always buy all the meats and cheeses at Trader Joe’s. Aldi has a great selection where I have made a board for 25 dollars, and still have cheese and meats left for a second one.How can I make this a kid friendly board?I made a board last year where I added: Maple Popcorn, Cheese Puffs, Reeses Pieces, Glowing Kit Kats, Halloween Oreos or TJ’s JoJos, Candy Corn, Halloween Peeps, Halloween M&Ms, Candy Eyeballs and bones, Pumpkin Spice pretzels.
