Introduction

A charcuterie board is the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day with a beautiful and delicious assortment of bites. This Mother’s Day Charcuterie Board combines sweet, savory, and fresh flavors for a treat everyone will love.

A wooden tray filled with a colorful and neat arrangement of food sits on a white marbled surface with scattered flowers around. At the bottom left, there are five golden brown croissants. Next to the croissants, there are small wedges of yellow and white cheese stacked in rows. Above the cheese are round white and pink truffle-like balls. Slices of green kiwi and dark purple grapes form horizontal layers near the top. Strawberries form a red cluster at the upper right corner with green grapes beside them. Near the center of the tray is a round white cheese topped with blackberries and raspberries and drizzled with honey, with two thin sticks crossing on top. Smaller cubes of white cheese are spread near the center, along with rolled slices of pink deli meat arranged like flowers placed in various spots. Red and pink wrapped chocolates add bright dots. Slices of fresh orange and blackberries with folded slices of salami complete the display on the right side. Purple and white flowers are used to decorate several places on the board. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Instructions

Step 3: Arrange the mini croissants, donut holes, and strawberries in the outer corners of the tray to create a balanced look.
Step 4: Fill in the tray with the remaining ingredients. For an elegant touch, make salami roses or simply fold the salami into quarters and arrange attractively.

Tips & Variations

Make salami roses by rolling slices into flower shapes to add visual interest to the board.
Substitute seasonal fruit based on what’s fresh or preferred.
Include nuts like almonds or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Use a mix of sweet and savory chocolates to balance flavors on the board.

Storage

Store any leftover charcuterie ingredients separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. Reassemble a fresh board before serving again. Brie and other cheeses are best brought to room temperature before eating for optimal flavor.

How to Serve

A large white platter on a white marbled surface holds a colorful and neatly arranged charcuterie spread. At the center is a round wheel of soft white cheese sliced almost through, topped with blackberries, raspberries, and drizzled honey. Around it are layers of green grapes, red strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and purple grapes. Meat slices shaped like roses are placed beside cubes of yellow and white cheese, and a few slices are rolled in small stacks. There are small round sugar-dusted cookies stacked near some yellow and white cheese slices, with green-wrapped chocolates next to golden croissants adorned with pink and white flowers. Heart-shaped red-wrapped chocolates add a bright contrast near the cheeses, and orange slices form a crescent shape in one corner. The whole arrangement is colorful with a mix of textures, fresh fruits, meats, cheeses, flowers, and baked goods. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
