This post may contain affiliate links.
Would you like to create a charcuterie board that’s healthy, low in carbs, and delicious? Our top 10 selection includes cured meats, cheeses, and other tasty treats perfect for your board.
CHEESE
When selecting cheese for your board, opt for a sharp cheddar for its distinct taste and firm consistency. With its nutty and slightly sweet flavor, Swiss cheese pairs well with cured meats. For an elegant touch, include creamy brie, renowned for its smooth and velvety texture. Experiment with tangy and creamy goat cheese.
Nuts
You can’t go wrong with nuts. Almonds have an excellent buttery taste and a satisfying crunch. Walnuts are earthy and go great with cheese. Pecans are smooth and nutty, while macadamia nuts are creamy and delicate. Pistachios are not only delicious but also rich in healthy fats, fiber, and vital nutrients.
Celery Sticks
Celery sticks make great dippers for guacamole, cream cheese, or any other low-carb dip to add a delightful combination of flavors and textures to your board.
Olives
A great selection of olives can enhance your board’s flavor. For a bold and rich taste, choose Kalamata olives with their deep purple hue and slightly fruity flavor. To add a milder and tangy bite, include some green olives. If you’re looking for a burst of flavor, try stuffed olives with pimento or blue cheese fillings.
Meats
Including ham, pepperoni, prosciutto, roast beef, and various types of salami like calabrese, genoa, peppered, and turkey can be an excellent addition to any charcuterie board.
Berries
On your board, you can include a variety of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. These delicious low-carb options offer a perfect blend of flavors and textures. Their antioxidant properties provide a tangy and refreshing contrast to the savory elements on your board.
Low Carb Crackers
Complete your charcuterie board with the satisfying crunch of low-carb crackers. Choose from options such as almond flour crackers and flaxseed crackers, which offer a nutty and crunchy base for your charcuterie toppings.
Sugar-Free Chocolate
Sugar-free chocolate comes in various forms, such as dark chocolate bars, chocolate-covered nuts, or even sugar-free chocolate chips. The smooth and velvety texture of the chocolate complements the savory components, creating a well-rounded flavor profile.
Dips
Try adding some low-carb dips to the mix! You can make them with Greek yogurt, avocado, or cream cheese, which tastes just as good as the higher-carb options. Dill pickle Dip or a Low Carb Cheeseball are excellent choices for the board.
Sugar-Free Jelly
Sugar-free jelly or jam is a highly versatile condiment that complements a wide range of charcuterie items. It can be spread on low-carb crackers or paired with cheeses to create an array of delicious flavors.
