Memorial Day Weekend is the kick-off to summer filled with sunshine, days on the lake, and time with family. We’ve created three Memorial Day charcuterie boards with the perfectly paired drinks to impress, and share with, your friends and family. The best part? You can buy all of these ingredients at Trader Joe’s. We love a one-stop shopping trip! We’re so excited to share these with you!
CAMPFIRE CHARCUTERIE
This is an elevated take on the classic bonfire dessert, and it’s sure to please. Fill your board with all the s’mores necessities and personalize to your own liking. Add jars of hot fudge or peanut butter, swap out milk chocolate for Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cups, or dark chocolate. We paired this with Middle Jane red wine with Scout & Cellar. So delicious!
INGREDIENTS
Graham crackers
Trader Joe’s chocolate plantain chips
Marshmallows
Milk chocolate squares
Chocolate chip cookies
Strawberries
Snack pretzels
Donut holes
Sterno (if you aren’t starting up a bonfire)
Kabob skewers for roasting the marshmallows
RED WHITE AND CHARCUTER-BRIE
This is THE Memorial Day charcuterie board, and this will surely be a holiday hit. Any white or light colored cheeses will bring in the white, blueberries for the blue, and red fruit and salami for the red. We loved pairing this board with Half-Baked Harvest’s Watermelon Rose Paloma for a perfect pop of festive color!
INGREDIENTS
Blueberries
Strawberries
Cherries
Brie
White cheddar cheese
Goat cheese
Assortment of crackers
Salami
Prosciutto (optional)
Cashews or almonds for topping
Rosemary sprigs for garnish
TEX-MEX FIESTA CHARCUTERIE
Who doesn’t love Mexican food?! This board is filled with all of our favorite Tex-Mex food, and is so easy to make. We paired this with Half-Baked Harvest’s Spicy Cucumber Margarita – our team’s favorite! You can put your own take on this board by making different salsas, adding in other chip options or having a queso board all to itself. Our kind of party!
INGREDIENTS
Trader Joe’s Flaxseed Tortilla Chips
Manchego cheese
Cheddar cheese
Queso of choice
Grape tomatoes sliced
Bell peppers sliced
Jalapenos for topping
Frozen mini-tacos from Trader Joe’s
Salsa of choice (we chose mango salsa!)
Chorizo slices
AMY’S GUACAMOLE
2 Avocados
1 can of Ro-tel tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
Cilantro to taste
Mash + mix all together and enjoy!
These were a blast to make and show you all! We definitely enjoyed maybe one too many tacos and crackers with brie as a team after preparing these Memorial Day charcuterie boards. We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday!
Most importantly, we want to honor and recognize the fallen who have represented, served, and protected our country. We thank you with all of our hearts.
