This 4th of July Charcuterie Board is the perfect patriotic grazing board for the holiday weekend!
Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays. We always spend it with our friends and familyβ making delicious festive food and celebrating our countryβs freedom by setting off fireworks.
Every year, we host our family and a few friends for the holiday, so weβre always trying to think of recipes that will feed a crowd. This year, we thought we would make a 4th of July charcuterie board for our friends and family!
If you know anything about us, itβs that we love making different charcuterie boards for all sorts of occasions, so making one for the Fourth of July just made sense! We wanted this snack board to be a patriotic appetizer with red, white and blue foods. We loved how it came together, and how elegant it looked!
Made with an array of fresh berries, white cheddar cheese, crackers, tomatoes, French bread, and Milano Cookies. This 4th of July Charcuterie board will be a crowd pleaser!

Whatβs on this charcuterie board?
Crackers: Whatβs a charcuterie board without some crackers? We love these multigrain crackers. They pair so well with any type of cheese or meat.
French Baguette Slices: The French baguette slices pair nicely with the fresh bruschetta.
White Cheddar Cheese: Our go-to cheese for any charcuterie board is always a delicious white cheddar. The white color of the cheese also adds to the red, white, and blue theme.
Salami: We folded the salami, because we loved the way it looked and it made it easier for guests to grab off of the board.
Mini Mozzarella: The mozzarella balls pair well with the cherry tomatoes and add a pop of bright white to the board.
Cherry Tomatoes: We are obsessed with caprese salad in the summer we thought it would be a fun idea to add red cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls for a delicious bite.
Bruschetta: The fresh taste of bruschetta on French bread is so delightful!
Blueberry Goat Cheese: Not only does this blueberry goat cheese add some blue color to the charcuterie board, but itβs so delicious on crackers or a slice of French bread.
Strawberries: This sweet berry was added to the board to add a pop of red.
Blueberries: Blueberries are an obvious βblue fruitβ to add to the grazing board, so we youβdβt resist. Plus, they are one of our favorite fruits to snack on!
Blackberries: The blackberries add a deep blue color and look so cute on this snack board.
Milano Cookies: We always love to add a sweet item when we have a lot of savory snacks. Milano cookies were the perfect choice because they are a light cookie to eat for an appetizer.

How to Make the 4th of July Charcuterie Board
Charcuterie boards can be intimidating to assemble, but there really isnβt a wrong way of creating them. If youβre interested, we made a while blog post going into detail about how we make every charcuterie board look beautiful with only 5 super simple steps.
This 4th of July charcuterie board will literally only take you about 5 minutes to assemble and your friends and family will love it!
First, prepare your food items to place on the board. We sliced the French baguette, the white cheddar and the strawberries. Add some bruschetta to a small ramekin or glass bowl.
Then, place your βcontainedβ items. For this board, that would be your bowl of bruschetta. Place the bruschetta on one corner or the board.
Next, add your bigger items. Add your block of cheese, blueberry goat cheese log and cheese slices. Place your multigrain crackers on the board.
Next, layer in your salami, tomatoes, mozzarella balls, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Fill in the remaining empty spaces with French baguette slices and Milano cookies and any other left over berries to fill the small spaces. The fuller your board looks, the better!
Lastly, serve and enjoy with your friends and family on the 4th of July weekend!
