Want to serve a vegetarian appetizer? You’ll love this Vegetarian Ritz Cracker Board made with Ritz crackers. Sometimes I’ll replace the Ritz crackers with rice crackers for a gluten-free option as well. You can get all board information in this post (to season and to buy a board), How to Season a Charcuterie Board.
Vegetarian Ritz Cracker Board
We’re all about using what we have in the fridge these days, so we a veggie platter with cucumber, radish, and apple slices. You can also make your own dips, like this Whipped Ricotta Lemon Dip or Easy Triple Onion Dip Recipe. Better yet, have you thought about making a Italian Bread Dipping Oil Charcuterie Board for a party?
Grab your favorite spritzer and serve.
I love this board for summer–so refreshing, simple, and tasty!

Pairing Ritz Crackers
Pairing Ritz crackers and spreadable cheese is still one of my favorite snacks—it reminds me of my childhood. Think classic, old fashioned Ritz, but I still can’t get enough of these buttery crackers, once I open a sleeve! My memory goes back to Friday nights, while watching the television show, Dallas, with my best friends. We’d eat them with sharp cheddar cheese and Skippy peanut butter! :) Two flavors I love to this day.
Today we can dress Ritz up a little fancier on a cheese board. It’s truly a simple, elegant appetizer to serve or bring to a party. Even grown-ups love a good Ritz/cream cheese bite.
How to make a Veggie & Cracker Board
- Use a mandolin and thinly slice your favorite vegetables.
- Add Boursin or cream cheese, or both.
- Assemble the crackers, cheese, and veggies on a board.
For a prettier board, stick to bright, crisp spring vegetables and apple slices, but honestly, there are no hard rules.
Remember for a cheese board, always use what you have on hand.
SIMPLE TIP: I love to buy whipped cream cheese, because it’s easy to spread!
Perfect for an outdoor fire! [We added a few Dove chocolates] :)
ENJOY!

Sandy, your boards are out now. We are all at home and not entertaining. This is a bit depressing. Please show your great family meals. Who are we or you for that matter feeding this too?
This was done right before the CV hit, so thank you for your grace as I share what I feel my audience wants, but is also authentic to my brand. We’ve asked over on Instagram and people still want a bit of normalcy and ideas for future entertaining, plus we all want to keep dreaming about bringing people together. My blog is about ideas, recipes, and also keeping positive attitudes during this time! PS. We served a smaller dinner on a board last night, so I do not feel my “boards are out.” :)
