Instructions

  1. Lay down a large serving tray, board, or covered table as the foundation for your charcuterie stadium.
  2. Build the ‘walls’ of your stadium using plastic containers or boxes lined with foil or parchment paper. Arrange them to create sections for dips, chips, and snacks.
  3. Fill the sections with dips first. Use small bowls for guacamole, hummus, salsa, or any other dips you’re using. Place them securely within the designated areas.
  4. Add chips and crackers around the dips. Make sure they’re easy to grab and pair well with the dips—think tortilla chips, pita chips, or pretzel sticks.
  5. Arrange rolled cured meats like salami and prosciutto in neat lines or clusters. Use skewers or toothpicks to keep them together if needed.
  6. Layer in the cheese cubes, slices, and balls. Alternate colors and textures for a visually appealing spread.
  7. Fill in gaps with fresh fruits like grapes, apple slices, and strawberries. Scatter them strategically to add brightness and sweetness.
  8. Place veggies like baby carrots, celery sticks, and cherry tomatoes for a healthy crunch. Keep them near dips like ranch or hummus.
  9. Add extras like nuts, olives, pickles, or even popcorn for variety. These little touches make your stadium feel complete.
  10. Finish by decorating the ‘field’ with themed items like mini flags, toothpick footballs, or paper cutouts. Get creative and make it match the game day vibe!

Notes

Prep ingredients the night before for convenience. Keep dips and fresh fruits chilled until serving. Balance textures and flavors for variety. Make a backup tray for refills during the event.
