Early Summer Charcuterie Board
with hard boiled eggs / strawberries / snap peas / radishes
The inspiration for this charcuterie board comes from the French practice of spreading radishes with butter and salt. This combination tones down the spiciness of the radishes. It's great on its own, excellent served on a paleo-friendly nut cracker, and works well with the other seasonal flavors listed below. Feel free to add your other favorite board meal additions!
