A vibrant and easy-to-assemble patriotic charcuterie board featuring fresh red, white, and blue fruits, cheeses, and savory meats, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • Red grapes (washed)
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Goat cheese (soft and spreadable)
  • Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • Marcona almonds (lightly toasted)
  • Fresh blueberries (washed and dried)
  • Blackberries (optional)
  • Thinly sliced salami (smoky soppressata preferred)
  • Prosciutto
  • Rosemary crackers
  • Baguette slices (toasted)
  • Honey (for drizzling)
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves
  • Mixed olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh fruits gently under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Hull and halve the strawberries, remove grapes from stems if preferred, and slice cherry tomatoes if using. Dry fruits thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
  2. Cut fresh mozzarella balls into halves or thirds depending on size. Portion goat cheese into small dollops or logs using a cheese spreader or small knife. Arrange cheeses on the board with space between them.
  3. Fan out slices of salami and prosciutto in different sections of the board. Fold prosciutto into loose ribbons for height and texture. Optionally, roll some salami slices around small mozzarella balls for bite-sized treats.
  4. Neatly stack rosemary crackers and toasted baguette slices near the cheeses for easy access.
  5. Pour marcona almonds and olives into small bowls and nestle them on the board. Drizzle honey over goat cheese or serve honey in a small bowl with a spoon.
  6. Scatter fresh mint or basil leaves over fruits and cheeses for a fresh aroma and color contrast. Fill any gaps with extra fruits or crackers to create a full and inviting display.

Notes

Dry fruits thoroughly to prevent soggy crackers. Assemble the board right before serving for best freshness. Toast baguette slices for added crunch. Use dairy-free cheese alternatives and turkey slices for dietary adaptations. Keep crackers separate until serving to maintain crispness.
