Fresh and Vibrant Ingredients for Your Spring Appetizer Board

Whipped Feta: 1 cup (store-bought or homemade)
Hard Boiled Eggs: 4, peeled and halved (cook for 10 minutes for perfect yolks)
Pickled Carrots: 1 cup (thinly sliced for easy serving)
Watermelon Radishes: 2, thinly sliced (adds a pop of color)
Red Radishes: 6, thinly sliced (or substitute with daikon radishes)

Simple Steps to Assemble Your Spring Appetizer Board

Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the baguette or prepare crostini. Blanch the snap peas by boiling for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice water to retain their vibrant color.
Arrange the Board: Start by placing the whipped feta in a small bowl or directly on the platter. Surround it with the hard-boiled eggs, pickled carrots, watermelon radishes, red radishes, pickled radishes, and blanched snap peas.
Add the Bread: Place the sliced baguette or crostini around the edges of the board for easy access.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your beautiful spring appetizer board as a fresh and colorful starter for any gathering!

Elevate Your Board with Sauces and Toppings

Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of za’atar to the whipped feta for extra flavor. A side of lemony herb dip or garlic aioli pairs beautifully with the veggies and bread. For a touch of sweetness, include a small bowl of fig jam or pomegranate molasses.

Perfect Pairings for Serving

This board is ideal for spring gatherings or brunch! Pair it with a crisp rosé wine or a refreshing sparkling lemonade. For a heartier spread, add a bowl of marinated olives or a selection of charcuterie meats.

Quick Prep and Assembly Tips

Save time by prepping ingredients ahead—boil the eggs, pickle the veggies, and whip the feta the day before. Use a mandoline slicer for even, thin radish slices. Arrange items in small bowls or clusters on the board for a visually appealing presentation.

Storage and Leftover Ideas

Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Leftover pickled veggies and whipped feta make a great addition to salads or grain bowls. Blanched snap peas can be tossed into stir-fries for a quick veggie boost.

Customize Your Board

Swap out ingredients based on what’s in season or your preferences. Try roasted asparagus instead of snap peas, or add marinated artichokes for a tangy twist. For a gluten-free option, serve with rice crackers or veggie sticks.
