This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Keto & Low-Carb Boards, with 19 more keto boards. The book has the shopping list with the net carbs of every item, full macros per serving, the step-by-step build and the carb traps to avoid.

Why it works

Without cheese, the richness has to come from somewhere else, and here it's avocado, macadamia nuts, smoked salmon and eggs. Salami, prosciutto and dry chorizo bring the salt and spice.

Two kinds of olives, pickles and whole-grain mustard give it the sharp notes a cheese board usually gets from aged cheese, and cucumbers, celery and radishes carry everything. About 8 g net carbs per serving.
