Charcuterie Board Ideas for Picnic that Are Easy to Make
Love picnics? These charcuterie board ideas for a picnic are just what you need to elevate your outdoor gathering. Whether you’re lounging in the park, chilling by the beach, or just mingling with friends in your backyard, there is at least one idea you will fancy. These spreads are all about simple, tasty, and visually stunning bites that will impress your company. Here are some amazing charcuterie board ideas for a picnic!
BBQ Board
Picnics are not for strawberries and dry sandwiches only but for a whole spread of juicy, charred meat and veggies. I would recommend pre-cutting your steaks or any large pieces of meat so you can eat them without getting your hands dirty.
Hot Dog Charcuterie Board
Hot dogs are the ultimate outdoor food – familiar, tasty, and easy to eat! This is a tad fancier spread, though, with different toppings and sauces. I love them with coleslaw!
Slider Snack Board
I love taking sliders to picnic! They are super simple to eat, yet you can make them a real gourmet bite. Go for standard ham and cheese, patty, or deli sliders; the possibilities are endless. My fav is Italian-inspired with tons of sauce!
French Fries Board
Out of all of these boards, french fries one is my go-to. Bringing these pre-packed sauces is such a great idea, so they won’t spill – arrange any fries you love, from classic French over sweet potato to wedges.
Vegetable Charcuterie Board
A colorful charcuterie board is a true attention catcher! This feast is immaculate: multicolor cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli, mini peppers, multicolor carrots, plus dips. There is no veggie spread without tahini, tzatziki, and hummus!
Ultimate Charcuterie “Board”
This is not a classic board, but this is one of the best ideas I’ve ever seen! I love these tiny compartments for anything you fancy – deli, nuts, cheeses, pretzels, and crackers. The best thing is – you can pack everything without mixing and touching.
Mini Charcuterie Board
I love this so much! They are simple to pack and transfer, as these are glass Tupperware containers. This is a classic spread for two, with some cheese, deli, nuts, and fruits – simply perfect.
Mini Charcuterie Box
Plastic containers are the way to go for single or 2-serving charcuterie boards! You can never make a mistake with crackers, cheese, salami, and grapes, so this is one classic combo. Plus, the colors look fab!
Dips and Crackers Board
This is the best board for a last-minute picnic! Just pack a wooden board and buy some crackers and a tub of hummus on the way to the park. It is superb to snack on while reading by the lake, and it is definitely one of my favorites!
Dessert Charcuterie Board
One thing better than dessert is a whole board of desserts! Chocolate, cookies, choco pretzels, nuts, and some fruits are impeccable fusion. This is a whole spread of crunchy heaven!
Rustic Charcuterie Board
If you’re looking for a board to snack on on a romantic date with a crisp glass of wine, you’ve found it! This is such an elegant and gourmet blend with different cheeses, delis, olives, and the star: sour cherry spread.
Fresh Fruit Charcuterie Board
What is a summer picnic without an assortment of fresh, juicy, tropical fruits? This board has all of my favorites: grapes, watermelon, pineapple, berries, and apples! Don’t forget to drizzle lemon juice over the fruit so it stays crisp!
Fast Food Charcuterie Board
Take-out, but make it fancy! Instead of a date in the parking lot, here is a more romantic option – a fast-food picnic in nature. This is definitely the best of both worlds!
Candy Charcuterie Board
I think kids would adore this one! It is super simple to whip up; just toss in all your favorite candy! Mini chocolate bars and sour candy are not only for the kids, though; I love them too!
Pastry Charcuterie Board
You can definitely go with classic croissants, donuts, and Danish pastries, but I loved this one so much. Just grab a few of your favorites from a local baker, toss in some berries, and call it a day!
