I also like smoked salmon (not lox - the type of that is smoked for longer) to put on crackers with cream cheese and capers. It’s a go to for parties where I’m from in the PNW because we have such good wild salmon.
I also love tzatziki dip with veggies and pita - tangy and a bit lighter than many other dips.
Q for you. I love smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers (and thinky sliced red onion) on little slices of pumpernickel. I never see anyone serve this on a board - do you make this its own separate board, or do you include these with more traditional charcuterie items on a big board?
I do just the salmon and fixings for it all one one board. The capers (and onion) in a bowl on or beside the board. Since it’s 4 - 5 ingredients to do the combination, it would be too confusing to put on a board with other stuff.
Do you put this out for a pre dinner snack board, or just at brunch?

We do crudite and little appetizers/dips that fit with Thanksgiving foods: pumpkin bread; stuffed mushrooms; baked brie with cranberry compote; this delicious goat cheese dip:https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/goat-cheese-with-warm-candied-bacon/

Just make it look vaguely similar to this. The visual is almost as important as the food

Makes me laugh -- kind of true!!
Charcuterie boards are just multiple servings of Girl Dinner, which I’m sure that young woman proudly partakes of

I like to make sure there is always some fruit, even just dried fruit like apricot or mango. Grapes are always good - pretty plus easy finger food. This time of year sliced pear or apple, or just apple butter would be nice.

And no onion jam.
