What are 5 things to avoid on a charcuterie board?

Here are five things to skip:

Skip overpowering flavors that may not be appealing to everyone.
Anything that melts easily (like soft chocolate in warm settings) or sticky candies that make a mess can be tricky to serve.
A board that’s all crunchy or all soft can feel boring. Mix textures with crisp crackers, chewy candies, and creamy dips.
Overcrowding the board makes it hard for guests to grab things and can make the board look cluttered instead of inviting.
Perishable items that spoil quickly like fresh dairy-based dips, cut fruit that browns quickly, or anything that needs refrigeration for long periods may not hold up well on a grazing board.
