Spring Sharing Board
Sharing boards are a popular choice to include all types of foods. Celebrate spring with some of our favourite spring produce ideas. You can sustainably use what ingredients you have, sharing with your flatmates.
Fresh vegetables – enjoy fresh and crunchy spring vegetables like: radishes, carrots, sugar snap peas and peppers. You can arrange them in a colour co-ordinated and eye-catching way on your board.
Dips & Spreads – humous, tzatziki, or even enjoy a homemade vegetable dip.
Fruit –Spring is the season for fresh berries, so include some strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. You can also include some sliced apples, pears, and grapes for variety.
Nuts & Seeds – Add some crunch to the board with roasted nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, or pumpkin seeds.
Olives & Pickles – Enjoy some savoury fresh produce like olives and pickles. For example, you can buy supermarket’s own in deli counters or in jars.
