Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries

  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (such as celery, carrots, or cucumber slices)

Instructions

  1. Select a large rectangular serving board or tray.
  2. Arrange the blueberries in the upper left corner to create the blue section of the American flag.
  3. Place cubes or slices of white cheese beside the blueberries to form the first white stripe.
  4. Create red stripes using rows of salami, pepperoni, strawberries, raspberries, or cherry tomatoes.
  5. Alternate white cheese rows and red ingredient rows until the flag pattern is complete.
  6. Fill any empty spaces with crackers, pretzels, fresh vegetables, or additional snacks.
  7. Adjust the arrangement as needed to create a neat and visually appealing flag design.

Notes

  • Prepare the board a few hours ahead and keep refrigerated until serving.
  • Use a variety of white cheeses for added flavor and visual appeal.
  • Create a fruit-only version using blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, and bananas.
  • For a dessert board, substitute cookies, marshmallows, and white chocolate-covered treats.
  • Add nuts, artisan crackers, and specialty cheeses for a gourmet charcuterie experience.
  • Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to the fresh ingredients.
