The sun is out, the air is crisp but warm, and after what felt like the longest winter ever, it’s finally time for dinner al fresco. What better way to celebrate the season than with a beautiful, budget-friendly cheeseboard? I put this one together for under $50, and the best part? I had plenty of leftovers to make another one. That’s what I call a major win!

The Perfect Spring Cheeseboard
This board has everything—creamy cheeses, savory charcuterie, sweet fruits, crunchy nuts, and the perfect mix of crackers to hold it all together. Here’s what I used:
Cheese Selections:
- Extra Sharp Cheddar – bold and flavorful
- Double Cream Brie – ultra smooth and spreadable
- Herb & Garlic Goat Cheese – tangy with a punch of flavor
Charcuterie Trio:
- Prosciutto – delicate and salty
- Soppressata – rich and slightly spicy
- Capocollo – savory with a nice chew
Crunch Factor:
- Artisanal Fruit Crisps – for a sweet contrast
- Entertaining Cracker Collection – variety is key!
Extras for Texture & Flavor:
- Pistachios – a little salty crunch
- Dried Cherries + Cranberries – chewy and tart
- Cranberry Pomegranate Preserves – a sweet, jammy layer
- Green Olives – briny and delicious
Fresh Fruits:
- Strawberries – juicy and vibrant
- Grapes – a classic pairing
Finishing Touch:
- Fresh Rosemary Sprigs – for a fragrant, rustic feel
Cheeseboards might look fancy, but they’re actually one of the simplest meals to throw together. Just arrange everything on a big board (or a baking sheet if you don’t have one), play with textures and colors, and let everyone dig in.
