Fourth of July Charcuterie Board
Fourth of July Charcuterie Board is perfect for hosting! Add patriotic colored foods, like watermelon, salami, cherries, and M&M’s. ENJOY!
Friends, as we’ve slidden right into summer (wow, I can’t believe the beautiful weather we are having), I can’t help but think about hosting on our deck, for holidays, and just being with family and friends. What better way to celebrate summer and patriotism than with a patriotic themed charcuterie board!

Summertime is the happiest season of all (in my opinion). Even better with this Fourth of July Charcuterie Board! Here’s a few more 4th of July recipes to try: 4th of July Tie-Dyed Fudge [Taste n’ Tell], and Best Strawberry Trifle with fresh blueberries and Fourth of July Fruit Berry Platter. Plus more The Big Board ideas + boards to buy!
How to make a patriotic charcuterie board
Of course I love July 4th and making a patriotic cheese board. There are NO RULES for dinner boards or charcuterie boards. Use what you have, be creative and have fun, are my rules. [A true “charcuterie” means cured meats and cheese.]
How to serve a Fourth of July Charcuterie Board
Do you want to host a snacking party? I think that is such a fun idea, but in reality, this is just a great Fourth of July appetizer plate! Everyone can reach in and grab their own snacks.
Set it out, they will come! You can serve this with a stack of small plates and napkins.
4th of July Patriotic Board Ingredients
This time for this Fourth of July Charcuterie Board, I used fresh fruits, red, white, and blue M&Ms, and salami cheese sticks.
Chips and salsa. Ranch and fresh veggies.
Fill in the open areas with your favorite crackers, flavored or plain nuts, and more fresh fruit.
I bought my board at Pier 1, which is no longer available! Grab the link below to buy my new line BIG BOARD in 4 epic sizes (with a lip so the food stays on the board).
Set the table red, white and blue
Create a memorable gathering with a simple style. Want a no-fuss centerpiece? Especially this time of year, I set out my favorite plant (it came in this pot).
Chances are you already have items hiding in the house, right?
This denim tablecloth is from IKEA this year, and I grabbed another container for forks and napkins.
Keep it casual, friends!
Set out drinks and cups and you’ve got a snacking party!

I have been obsessed with your board. I live in Richmond, VAand I finally found one like yours at The Pier One in Midlothian, VA which is just across the river. Any way I picked it up today. I love it. Can’t wait to you your recipes and board designs for entertaining. Thanks so much for sharing.
I do have the (part number) for the board if anyone is looking for one like yours from Pier One.
It is beautiful and I know I will enjoy using it.
Hi Debbie,
I would be interested in knowing the part or sku number to that wooden tray. Thanks!
