CHARCUTERIE BOARD 101:

- Add Seasonal Touches: Incorporate holiday-themed items like pomegranate seeds, rosemary sprigs, and dried cranberries to give your board a festive look and flavor.
- Get Creative with Shapes and Colors: Arrange items in circular or wave patterns, and play with color by adding bright fruits, colorful spreads, and vibrant veggies for visual appeal.
- Include Something Unexpected: Surprise your guests with a unique element like dark chocolate, honeycomb, or spiced nuts to elevate the board and add a touch of indulgence.
- Don’t Forget Garnishes: Fresh herbs like thyme or edible flowers add a beautiful finishing touch, making your board look as good as it tastes!
SIMPLE ADDITIONS TO ELEVATE YOUR CHARCUTERIE BOARD
Creating a basic charcuterie board is simple and allows you to showcase a variety of flavors and textures. However basic, it doesn’t have to be boring, especially with Festive Chickpeas! Festive Chickpeas offer eight flavorful and crunchy varieties to pair well with whatever board you want to create, adding texture, flavor and fun!
Festive Chickpeas™ has reinvented the chickpea, unhusking it, using the chickpea hearts (halves) to give it big crunch and even bigger flavor! All while being packed with protein and unbelievably good for you! These small little legumes are bursting with buttery flavor and give you that crunch you have been craving, making them a great on-the-go snack. Festive Chickpeas have ZERO preservatives, are non-GMO, soy-free, gluten-free and are 100% vegan to accommodate every snacker’s lifestyle. Each pocket-sized bag is abundant in fiber, iron and potassium, has 10 grams of protein and no trans fats.
Add a dash of protein and fiber to your next charcuterie board with Festive’s crispy chickpea hearts. The buttery, fresh, and crunchy taste of Festive makes chickpeas the life of the snacking party. These little wonders come in spicy, creamy, ranch, and BBQ flavors – a peanut-like alternative that’s sure to be festive for everyone.
