What is a Fruit Rainbow Charcuterie Board
A Rainbow Charcuterie Board is a vibrant and delicious way to bring color to your table! This board is arranged in a rainbow pattern using fresh, flavorful ingredients. Juicy strawberries and raspberries form the bold red arc, followed by sweet cantaloupe for a bright orange hue. Next, golden kiwi adds a pop of yellow, while plump blueberries and grapes complete the spectrum with deep blues and purples. To add a whimsical touch, fluffy yogurt-covered pretzels create soft, cloud-like accents at the edges of the rainbow. Perfect for gatherings, brunches, or a fun snack board, this eye-catching display is as delightful to look at as it is to eat!
