Spring into Grazing: Fresh Flavors for May Gatherings

Spring is in full swing, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a vibrant grazing board bursting with the season’s best flavors! Whether you’re planning a brunch, a sunny picnic, or a Memorial Day get-together, May is the perfect time to embrace fresh ingredients and creative pairings.

What’s in Season?

May brings a bounty of crisp veggies and sweet fruits. Think:

• Tender asparagus spears

• Snap peas and radishes

• Juicy strawberries and blueberries

• Fresh herbs like basil, mint, and chives

• Edible flowers for a pop of color

Cheese Pairings for Spring

Light, creamy cheeses shine this time of year. We love:

• Fresh herbed goat cheese

• Soft-ripened brie or camembert

• Young gouda or havarti

• Comté

Pair these with artisan crackers, a drizzle of local honey, and a handful of roasted nuts for crunch.

Pro Tips for a Stunning Board

• Layer in Color: Alternate bright veggies and fruits for eye-catching appeal.

• Add Edible Flowers: Nasturtiums, pansies, and violets are beautiful and tasty.

• Serve Chilled: Keep cheeses and produce cool for outdoor gatherings.

Make It Yours

Don’t be afraid to get creative! Try rolling goat cheese in fresh herbs, stacking cucumber slices with cheese and dill, or adding a tangy yogurt dip. The best boards are the ones that reflect your personal taste and the spirit of the season.
