How to make red white and blue charcuterie board

You will need a large board. You can use a cutting board but it is easiest to use one with edges.

Process of making Red white and blue charcuterie board.

Pour dips into small bowls. Arrange the assorted dips in small serving bowls and place them on the board.

Add in the large items. This includes: strawberries, pretzels and blue corn chips.

Next add in the meat and cheese. We used a star cookie cutter to cut star shapes out of the sliced Asiago cheese. It really adds a festive touch to the board.

Make a rose using pepperoni. This is optional but looks so pretty.

Add fruit and nuts. The last step is to add in the smaller items. The fruit and nuts will fill in the board of any gaps. These make great filler items to complete the charcuterie board.

Tips and tricks for 4th of July Charcuterie:

When assembling the Fourth of July board, place all the red items towards the top, the white items in the middle and the blue items towards the bottom. This will help to make the red, white and blue design.

We find that it’s best not to group all of the same items in one place on the board. We like to group the item in two or three sections around the board for a more appealing look.

It is helpful to use a board with an edge around it to accommodate the ingredients. This will prevent them from falling out of place.

Once it’s assembled the board is ready to share with your friends and family. This will be a hit.

I often use what is in season or readily available. Not only does this save money but allows me to use the freshest ingredients.

Can you make it ahead of time?

It is best to assemble this 4th charcuterie board right before serving. You can prepare all the ingredients the night before and store them separately.

Then easily assemble the board right before it’s ready to be enjoyed. You do not want to arrange the board ahead of time because it can quickly lose its shape.
