- 6 oz sliced deli turkey or ham rolled
- 3 oz summer sausage sliced

Instructions
- Set up accompaniments like dip bowls or breads on separate plates if needed, to save room on your smaller charcuterie platter. (If you’re using a larger board, arrange dip bowls on the board first.)
- Place large items on the board first, like soft cheeses & rolled meats.
- Add sliced meats, cheeses, & crackers next, building around the larger items on the board. You can layer items in a line to make them look nice, or arrange small piles.
- Fill in the board with fruits, veggies, & other snacks. Place each item near other ingredients you think it pairs well with!
- Garnish with edible flowers or fresh herbs, if desired.
- Serve your small charcuterie board with any extra plates on the side, and add spreaders or spoons into the dip bowls.
