A simple yet stunning fresh spring charcuterie board featuring artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, crunchy crackers, and edible seasonal blooms for a beautiful and flavorful presentation perfect for spring gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Brie or Camembert cheese
  • Aged Manchego or Parmesan cheese
  • Goat cheese log
  • Prosciutto slices
  • Soppressata or salami
  • Chorizo rounds
  • Strawberries, sliced
  • Green grapes or red grapes (seedless preferred)
  • Cucumber slices
  • Radishes, thinly sliced
  • Water crackers or multigrain crackers
  • Baguette slices, lightly toasted
  • Honey or fig jam
  • Marcona almonds or candied pecans
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary
  • Edible flowers such as pansies, nasturtiums, or violets

Instructions

  1. Remove cheeses from the fridge about 30 minutes before assembling to let them come to room temperature. Slice Manchego or Parmesan into thin wedges; leave goat cheese log whole or slice into rounds; score the top of Brie lightly for easy serving.
  2. If cured meats aren’t pre-sliced, slice them thinly. Arrange prosciutto loosely by folding or rolling slices; lay salami or chorizo flat or stacked.
  3. Rinse strawberries, grapes, cucumber, and radishes thoroughly. Slice strawberries and radishes thinly, halve grapes if large, and cut cucumber into rounds. Arrange in small piles or rows.
  4. Optionally, lightly toast baguette slices to add warmth and crunch. Brush slices lightly with olive oil before toasting if desired.
  5. Place small bowls or ramekins with honey or fig jam on the board. Scatter nuts like Marcona almonds around the board.
  6. Start with cheeses spaced evenly on the board. Fill spaces with meats, folding or layering naturally.
  7. Fill gaps with fruits and veggies, balancing colors and shapes by alternating bright reds, greens, and whites.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and edible flowers, trimming flowers with floral scissors for neat edges.

Notes

Remove cheeses from fridge 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Use pesticide-free edible flowers. Toast baguette slices lightly for added texture. Store leftovers separately wrapped in parchment paper and add fresh edible flowers before serving. Substitute plant-based cheeses and gluten-free crackers for dietary needs.
