I think themed snack boards are such a fun way to celebrate special occasions. They always seem to be the hit of the party. The most fun part, for me, is coming up with a variety of items and beautiful food that fit with the theme of my festive display.
The festive fourth of July charcuterie board idea I am sharing with you today uses a combination of foods that are both sweet and salty. I really like that balance, but there are so many other ways to create your own board.
You could make an entire board with only fresh fruits. It could be a desserts-only board or a breakfast board. Let your imagination run wild!

Supplies:
Fourth of July Charcuterie Board:
Ingredients:
- Strawberries
- White chocolate
- Blue Sprinkles
- White crackers
- White cheddar cheese
- Summer sausage/salami
- White chocolate covered pretzels
- Blueberries
- Cherry Twizzler Bites
- Watermelon
Directions:
- Start by preparing the white chocolate-covered strawberries. Dip each strawberry into white chocolate and then dip them in blue sprinkles. Once the strawberries are coated, lay them on a sheet of parchment paper to harden.
2. Cut the watermelon with the star cookie cutters.
3. Lay the strawberries in a half circle shape around the right side of the charcuterie board.
4. On the left side of the charcuterie board, alternate the white crackers, white cheese, and red salami or summer sausage, to fill the outer circle of the charcuterie board.
5. Place a bundle of the white chocolate pretzels, blueberries, and Twizzler bites inside the circle of strawberries and crackers, leaving a small bit of space in the middle.
6. Lastly, fill the center space of the charcuterie board with the star-shaped watermelon.
7. Serve and enjoy!
More red, white, and blue charcuterie board ideas:
- Red, white, and blue M&M’s and other small candies.
- Deviled eggs, with a little food dye added to the filling.
- Mini cupcakes topped with patriotic sprinkles.
- White foods like marshmallows, popcorn, white cheeses, cream cheese, and cauliflower.
- Red foods like raspberries, tomatoes, red bell peppers, radishes, and apples.
- Blue foods like grapes, different kinds of blue candies, and plums.
Tips and Tricks:
- If you don’t have a dedicated charcuterie board, a large cutting board is a great option. You could also use a wooden tray or even a regular cookie sheet.
- When building a beautiful charcuterie board, place the larger items on your board first, then move on to the smaller items to fill in the gaps.
- Arrange your patriotic charcuterie board using an American flag design, instead of concentric circles.
- Wrap your board in plastic wrap before adding the food items. This is an easy way to save on cleanup.
- Use white ramekins or other small bowls to hold smaller items on your board.
There is no wrong way to put together a food board. Get creative in making your own ultimate patriotic food display. I would love to see how they all turn out!
