How To: Make Red, White, and Blue Charcuterie Board
The hardest part of a charcuterie board, in my opinion, is rounding up all of the beautiful foods to put on display. And no matter how much you think is enough, you will always need more
My example includes a striped pattern to group the like-colored items, but feel free to assemble however you like! Follow these steps below to create one similar to mine
- Step 1: In opposite corners, group the blue foods together. Put sweet foods in one corner (berries) and more savory (olives, chips) in the other. Use small bowls if needed.
- Step 2: Lay out the white foods in a wide arrangement to completely surround the blue foods. Play with a pattern with the crackers and be sure to place the soft cheese on the edge of the board for easy access.
- Step 3: Cover the rest of the board with red foods. Red food is the easiest to find so you should have plenty options to complete the board. Fold the pepperoni into fun shapes or a rose if you’re bold!
- Step 4: Add toothpick flags and additional July 4th decor to spruce up your patriotic spread
