American Flag Charcuterie Board for Fourth of July

There’s something about a festive snack board that makes any gathering feel extra special. And when it comes to summer holidays like the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, nothing gets people excited like a bold, colorful American Flag Charcuterie Board. 🇺🇸

It looks impressive—like you spent hours arranging every little berry and cheese slice—but here’s the thing: it’s actually super easy to pull together. Seriously, if you can stack fruit and cheese in lines, you’re golden.

I’m gonna show you exactly how to make the version in the photo above (because let’s be honest, it’s too cute not to copy). You’ll only need a handful of ingredients, a cutting board, and about 20–30 minutes. Let’s get into it!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to build this board just like the picture:

For the blue “stars” section:

• Blueberries (enough to fill a small corner of your board)
• White cheese slices, cut into star shapes (use a mini star cookie cutter—or a knife if you’re patient)

For the red stripes:

• Raspberries
• Sliced pepperoni
• Sliced salami

white stripes:

• White cheese slices (like provolone or white cheddar)
• White cheese cubes (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even more cheddar)

That’s it! This combo gives you a beautiful mix of savory meats, creamy cheeses, and juicy berries for that perfect red, white, and blue look.

Ingredients

• Blueberries (enough to fill a small corner of your board)
• White cheese slices, cut into star shapes (use a mini star cookie cutter or a knife)
• Raspberries
• Sliced pepperoni
• Sliced salami
• White cheese slices (like provolone or white cheddar)
• White cheese cubes (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or more cheddar)

Instructions

1. In the top-left corner of your board, pile up blueberries to create the blue section of the flag.
2. Place the white star-shaped cheeses gently on top of the blueberries.
3. Starting at the top, lay out a row of raspberries for the first red stripe.
4. Below the raspberries, add a row of white cheese slices for a white stripe.
5. Alternate rows with pepperoni for red, more white cheese slices, salami for red, and cubes of white cheese until the board is filled.
6. Fold and layer the meats slightly to add texture and make the board look full.
7. Fill any empty spots with extra berries or cheese cubes for an abundant appearance.

Notes

No star cookie cutter? Use a knife to freehand simple star shapes, or skip the stars and just layer cheese cubes in the blueberry section. Serve crackers on the side to keep the flag pattern intact. For a kid-friendly version, use milder cheeses or turkey pepperoni.

How to Assemble Your American Flag Charcuterie Board

Here’s where the magic happens! Don’t overthink it—just layer it up like this:

1. Start with the stars. In the top-left corner of your board, pile up a bunch of blueberries to make the “blue” part of the flag. Then gently place the white star-shaped cheeses right on top of the berries. Boom—stars and stripes are already coming together!
2. Add the red and white stripes. Starting at the top, lay out a row of raspberries for your first red stripe. Below that, add a row of white cheese slices for a white stripe. Keep alternating: pepperoni slices for red, more white cheese slices, salami for another red, cubes of white cheese… until you’ve filled the board.
3. Overlap and layer for fullness. Notice how in the photo, the meats are slightly folded and layered? Totally copy that! It adds texture and makes the board look full and inviting.
4. Fill gaps with extras. If you’ve got little empty spots, tuck in extra berries or cheese cubes. You want the board to look abundant—like people can’t wait to dive in.

Tips & Tricks

• No star cookie cutter? Use a knife to freehand simple star shapes, or skip the stars and just layer the cheese cubes in the blueberry section.
• Wanna add crackers? Serve them on the side so they don’t mess up the flag pattern on the board itself.
• Make it kid-friendly: Swap out stronger cheeses for mild ones like string cheese chunks or use turkey pepperoni instead of spicy salami.
• Make ahead: You can assemble the whole board a few hours in advance—just cover with plastic wrap and chill until party time.
