Perfect Presentation Platters

You can use just about any basket for this Charcuterie Easter Basket! Here are some of my Easter favorites:

Baskets: I linked all of my favorite baskets from Michaels here!

Easter Serving Trays: For additional Easter serving trays for other dishes, we love these adorable pastel plaid Easter serving trays from JC Penney for a great price! TJ Maxx also has this wooden bunny-shaped platter that is adorable! We also can’t get enough of this white Stoneware Bunny Platter from Target!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in smallmedium, or large.

Can I Prep This Easter Charcuterie Basket in Advance?

Absolutely! You can cut cheese or wash the fruit and cut as needed. You can also prep any Salami Roses and store in airtight Tupperware containers. See below for my tips on making a salami rose!

How to Make a Salami Rose:

Storing Leftovers

For any perishables such as fruits, meats, or cheese, store in a Ziploc Bag or Tupperware container and store in the refrigerator, where it should stay fresh for several days. Any candies or cookies can be store in a Ziploc Bag at room-temp.
