This blog is all about three fun recipe ideas to add to your summer charcuterie board this season.
Disclaimer: these recipes are labeled “adult-friendly” because they contain CBD. Although CBD cannabinoids are non-psychoactive, the use of CBD is only recommended for adults 21+. To that end, CBD is a great alternative for adults who are looking for nonalcoholic party alternatives. Whether you’re trying to get on top of your drinking habit, make better decisions for your health or evolve your overall lifestyle, CBD facilitates fun, feel-good moments without impairing cognitive function, killing your liver, or leaving you with a pounding headache the next day.
What’s more, CBD can be added right into any of your favorite recipes, including festive ideas for trendy appetizers and party favorites, such as the infamous charcuterie board. So before you put your poolside menu together, consider these three adult-friendly snacks you can add to your next summer charcuterie board.
Shaved Fennel Pasta w/ Mint Vinaigrette
If you’re a health nut, don’t let the title of this refreshing appetizer fool you. Rest assured, there are no carbs involved. See recipe below and add a small bowl of this (or two) to your seasonal summer charcuterie board.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 fennel bulbs
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp honey dijon mustard
- 1 full dropper of Ladykind CBD Rise Up Daily Mind Clearing Tincture
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tsp shallots, minced
Instructions:
- Make the vinaigrette: Mix lemon juice, minced shallots, dijon mustard, salt, sugar, and chopped mint in a blender. In a small bowl on the side, whisk CBD and olive oil together. While it’s running, pour the CBD + olive oil mixture into the blender.
- Use a potato peeler to shave the fennel bulbs into finely sliced pieces (they should resemble very thin pasta noodles). Chop up some of the fennel fronds and place aside.
- In a large bowl, combine fennel slices and marinade from your blender together and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Remove from fridge, toss in fennel fronds and chopped fresh dill. Transfer into smaller serving bowls and add to your charcuterie board.
Brie, Blackberry, & Honey Baguette Slices
This is perfect if you crave charcuterie items that require as minimal effort as possible, but still taste fancy and luxurious.
Ingredients:
- Baguette
- Brie
- Honey
- 1 full dropper of Ladykind CBD Rise Up Daily Mind Clearing Tincture
- Blackberries
Instructions:
- Slice baguette and toast slices.
- Slice brie and place on top of toasted bread slices.
- In a small bowl, mix honey and CBD. Drizzle a small amount of the mixture over brie.
- Place a few blackberries on top of the honey and brie and drizzle with a bit more of the honey + CBD mixture.
- Add to charcuterie board.
Shrimp Ceviche Bites
Add a little flare to your traditional summer charcuterie board with these mouthwatering ceviche bites. Here’s how.
Ingredients:
- 1 bag cooked bay shrimp
- 2 large lemons
- 1 lime
- 1 orange
- 1-2 tomato, chopped
- 1-2 jalepeno, chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2-3 avocados
- Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 full dropper Ladykind CBD Rise Up Daily Mind Clearing Tincture
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Chop shrimp into 1/4 inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl with chopped tomato, jalepeno, red onion, and salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine citrus juices and CBD. Pour mixture onto shrimp and place bowl in the fridge to marinate for 1-3 hours. If you’re using raw shrimp, marinate for 4 hours so the acid from the fruits naturally cooks the shrimp.
- Once the ceviche is done marinating, mash avocados in a bowl with CBD until you have a guacamole-like texture.
- Spread CBD guacamole onto crackers, placing a spoonful of the ceviche on top of each.
- Arrange on summer charcuterie board and serve.
