I love my charcuterie boards — and this Cornucopia Bread Basket is sure to impress this Thanksgiving. One year we were invited to a "friends- giving" and they asked me, the Italian girl, to bring a salad. A salad! So, I made sure to add a few salad ingredients to this beautiful Cornucopia Bread Basket — let's just say they won't ever ask this Italian girl to bring a salad again. This Cornucopia Bread Basket is not only easy to make, but it is also beautiful. Move over turkey — this cornucopia charcuterie board is taking over your centerpiece duties.
