My mom pretty much made cheeseboards (in some form) for every single holiday. And Easter is just another holiday where a cheeseboard makes the perfect snack or appetizer. You can pretty much make a cheeseboard for any occasion (as my mom taught me), which is why I love them!
The best thing about cheeseboards is they are so adaptable and freeform. You can really use whatever you have in your pantry. Though I like to use seasonal ingredients for the time of year, I also try to make my cheeseboard fit the holiday or occasion as well. So for Easter, I was going for a light and pastel looking cheeseboard. I found these organic yogurt covered pretzels, and I am obsessed with them! And of course, I found organic jelly beans and some organic bunny gummies that make this board extra festive. It can be challenging to find organic candy for holidays sometimes, but don't worry I got you!
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Festive and Organic: It can be difficult to be festive sometimes when eating organic as there are not as many options. But, this Easter Cheeseboard is both festive and organic!
Quick and Easy: If you prepare the Dill Dip ahead of time it makes this board a breeze to put together on Easter day.
Crowd Pleaser: Cheeseboards are always a crowd pleaser, there's something for everyone.
Ingredients
- Dill Dip: The centerpiece of this board is my homemade Dill Dip. You can use any kind of dip you like or even hummus.
- Jelly Beans: I use organic jelly beans because it's Easter!
- Bunny Gummies: I use the organic bunny fruit snacks to make this festive.
- Yogurt Pretzels: Using organic yogurt covered pretzels makes this board lighter because they are white. But regular pretzels is also fine!
- Carrots: Organic carrots are great for dipping in dill dip!
- Blueberries: I love adding organic blueberries as they are a sweet treat but also go well with cheese and crackers.
- Cantaloupe: I cut organic cantaloupe into cubes.
- Grapes: I use organic green grapes for color here, but you can use red as well.
- Nuts: I use organic roasted and salted cashews, but any nuts will work!
- Cheese: I use organic white cheddar, feel free to use your favorite kind.
- Crackers: I use organic wheat thins.

Tips
- Prepare the Dill Dip ahead of time. My Dill Dip recipe is so easy to make, but it makes preparing your board on Easter day that much easier if it's already made. You can make this up to a few days in advance and store it in the fridge. You could also use a hummus instead as well.
- When creating a cheeseboard, make sure you have a large enough board to fit everything, but not too large that it won't fill it up. You can always add more fruit, nuts, or crackers to fill up a larger board.
- I like to start by putting my centerpiece in the middle of the board (in this case, it's the Dill Dip). Then, I like to add things to the corners next, which makes it easier to fill in the middle with everything else.
- You can prep this ahead of time as well by adding the dip, fruits, cheese, and veggies to the board. Cover it with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. Remove it when ready to serve and add the crackers, yogurt pretzels, and candy.
