Large Flower Charcuterie Board

I'm still channeling my inner charcuterie self... This Large Flower Charcuterie Board is a nice easy idea that would be fun for Mother's Day or any spring/summer event. The idea is to start with a small round bowl of dip or dressing as the flower's center, and simply build the flower petals with slices of carrots and peppers. I used my Homemade Honey Mustard Dip for the center. Only difference, I used yellow mustard instead of Dijon for the color. The pretty asparagus is from Dollar Tree (and great with the mustard dip), I just had to try a jar:@) I was expecting it to be super mushy, but it still has ~some~ body to it and can be picked up with fingers. Just be sure to gently drain it well on paper towels. Candied whole pecans add a little earthiness and a sweet note, soft pretzel nuggets would be another good choice with the dip. Wa-la, that's how easy it was!

It's ok to play with our food every once in a while folks:@)

Try something just for fun and

Have a Happy Day:@)
