This is the absolute best Summer Charcuterie Board. It’s the perfect grazing board to serve at a summer backyard party, by the pool with friends or for a casual gathering with friends and family.

Summer is one of our favorite times to invite friends and family over on warm summer evenings. The long summer nights always seem to make us want to extend the day longer. When we have people over in the summer, there’s nothing better than cooking them delicious food, playing games in the backyard and having wonderful conversation.

One of our favorite go-to appetizers for gatherings any time of year is a charcuterie board. They are so simple to make and there’s always something on the board everyone can enjoy!

Being inspired by summer flavors and gatherings with friends, we decided to create a beautiful summer charcuterie board. Made with pita bread, hummus, crackers, salami, cheese, and fresh fruit and vegetables.

This post is all about summer charcuterie board.

Summer Charcuterie Board

This is a super refreshing charcuterie board that’s perfect for a small game night with friends or a large evening summer party. Your guests will absolutely love it!

What’s in this recipe?

Pita Bread: we cut the pita bread into triangles and loved how they looks on the board.

Hummus: The hummus pairs so well with pita bread or cheese and crackers.

Crackers: We prefer to use round crackers for our charcuterie board, but you can use your favorite type of cracker as well.

Salami: Thin slices of salami pair so amazing with the crackers and cheese on the board.

White Cheddar Cheese: White cheddar cheese is our absolute favorite cheese to add to a board because it has such a delicious flavor and everyone loves it.

Brie: We added some jam to the top of our brie cheese. It’s always good to have different types of cheese on your charcuterie board for a variety of flavors for your guests.

Mozzarella Pearls: We absolutely love mozzarella cheese! It pairs so well with the tomatoes on the board.

Carrots: Carrots are a crowd favorite. We sliced the carrots into sticks so they are easy to snack on.

English Cucumbers: English cucumbers are the perfect mini cucumber to add to a charcuterie board. We prefer the flavor of them as well.

Cherry Tomatoes: The cherry tomatoes pair so well with the mozzarella cheese.

Bell Pepper Slices: We absolutely love snacking on bell peppers in the summer. It’s the perfect addition to the summer charcuterie board.

Red Grapes: Everybody loves grapes. These are always such a good item to put on any charcuterie board and they seem to be eaten the most of anything!

Watermelon: You can’t make a summer charcuterie board without watermelon! It’s the best summer fruit!

Dried Apricots: Not only do dried apricots look beautiful on the board, but they are also such a delicious snack food.

Blueberries: We love adding blueberry to snack boards. They pair so nicely with the different cheeses and are so yummy to snack on as well.

How to Make the Summer Charcuterie Board

First, you’ll need a gorgeous, clean charcuterie board. We absolutely love this charcuterie board from Amazon. However if you want to make a DIY charcuterie board, we show you how you can make your own here.

Second, prepare the items for the charcuterie board. Start by slicing the vegetables, fruits, pita bread and cheese.

Next, transfer the hummus from the container to a small ramekin or bowl. Add the hummus to the board. Begin adding your other larger food items, to the board. Add your brie, grapes, and watermelon slices.

Then, layer you pita bread slices, crackers, salami, white cheddar cheese, and vegetables on the charcuterie board.

In the empty space left on the board, add your mozzarella balls, dried apricots and blueberries.

Lastly, serve and enjoy with friends and family! That are seriously going to love it!
