Instructions

Soften the Butter: Allow the butter to reach room temperature so it is soft but not melted, then stir it in a bowl to loosen it and make it easy to spread.
Spread the Butter: On a small serving board, spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface. You can create a decorative swirl pattern using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Add the Toppings: Evenly scatter the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and chopped walnuts over the butter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Drizzle honey over everything for a sweet finish.
Serve: Present the butter board immediately alongside warm whole wheat sandwich bread slices for spreading and enjoying.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for the best texture on the butter board.
Feel free to substitute or add other fruits, nuts, or herbs based on personal preference.
Serve immediately to maintain freshness and presentation quality.
Warm the bread slightly before serving for enhanced flavor and texture.
