Print Recipe

A vibrant and easy-to-assemble charcuterie board featuring seasonal fruits, quality cheeses, cured meats, and edible flowers for a fresh spring celebration.

Ingredients

  • Soft goat cheese
  • Sharp aged cheddar
  • Brie or camembert (optional)
  • Prosciutto slices
  • Soppressata or salami
  • Thin slices of chorizo (optional)
  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Apricots, sliced thin
  • Green grapes
  • Fresh figs (optional)
  • Marcona almonds or toasted walnuts
  • Honey or balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Whole grain crackers or sliced baguette
  • Edible flowers (pansies, violas, nasturtiums, or calendula petals)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry fruit carefully. Hull and halve strawberries, slice apricots thinly, and cut fresh figs into quarters if using.
  2. Slice cheeses into bite-sized pieces or wedges. Leave some soft goat cheese whole for spreading if desired.
  3. Lay out a large wooden or slate serving board.
  4. Place cheeses spaced evenly apart to anchor the layout.
  5. Add small piles or folds of cured meats near each cheese.
  6. Fill in gaps with seasonal fruit clusters, balancing colors and textures.
  7. Scatter Marcona almonds or toasted walnuts in small piles or individual spots.
  8. Fan out crackers or baguette slices along edges or in small stacks, keeping them away from juicy fruit.
  9. Gently sprinkle edible flowers over the board, focusing on open spaces and on top of cheeses or fruit.
  10. Optionally drizzle honey or balsamic glaze over soft cheeses or fruit clusters just before serving.
  11. Check for empty spots and add extra nuts or fresh herb sprigs if desired.
  12. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Assemble just before serving to keep crackers crisp and fruit fresh. Handle edible flowers gently and add them last to prevent wilting. For vegetarian version, omit cured meats and add marinated olives or grilled artichokes. Store leftovers separately and consume fruit within 24 hours.
