Arrange prosciutto and turkey slices in folds or rosettes near the cheeses.
Step 3: Fill in with Fruits
Fan out the strawberries, grapes, and kiwi slices between the meats and cheeses for pops of color.
Step 4: Add Veggies & Crackers
Place cucumber slices, radishes, and snap peas in small clusters. Stack crackers and crostini in open spaces for structure.
Step 5: Add Final Touches
Sprinkle nuts in small piles, spoon honey or jam into a small bowl, and tuck fresh herbs throughout the board for fragrance and spring flair.
