Easter Charcuterie Board for a Beautiful Spring Gathering
I love making an Easter Charcuterie Board because it instantly brings people together without keeping me stuck in the kitchen. Every spring, when fresh fruit starts to look better and pastel colors feel right again, this is the first thing I plan for our table.
I enjoy how flexible it is, letting me mix sweet and savory bites while using simple ingredients I can find anywhere. It also gives me a chance to be creative without any pressure to cook everything from scratch.
Whether it’s for brunch, an afternoon snack, or pre-dinner nibbles, this board always feels festive and welcoming. I especially like how guests can help themselves, relax, and enjoy a little bit of everything at their own pace.
