Step 2: Add Meats

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.
