Notes

Storage Instructions: This Grinch Charcuterie Board is best served the same day you make it, while the fruit and cheese are fresh and vibrant. If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The grapes will stay crisp, but it’s best to refresh the meats and cheeses before serving again for the best flavor and presentation.
