Patriotic Charcuterie Board
Variety is key
Include a diverse range of flavors, textures, and colors.
- Cured meats: Opt for kid-friendly options like pepperonis, salami, or ham.
- Cheeses: Choose mild options such as cheddar or cheese cubes for broader appeal. I used deli sliced cheese and a star cookie cutter to add some flare!
Curb the spice
Select flavors that are not too spicy or strong.
- Mild cured meats like salami or ham are preferable.
- Cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or gouda cheeses work well.
Fruits and veggies
Add a variety of fresh produce for color and balance.
- Sliced apples, grapes, berries, baby carrots, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Dips and spreads
Include kid-friendly options for enhanced flavors.
- Hummus, ranch dressing, or a simple fruit yogurt dip are excellent choices.
Crackers and bread
Offer plain or lightly seasoned options.
- Choose crackers and bread that complement the other components.
Garnishes and extras
Add fun elements to make it visually appealing.
- Olives, pickles, pretzels, or small cubes of dark chocolate.
Presentation
Arrange items on a large wooden board or platter.
- Create sections or clusters for each ingredient.
- Use small bowls or ramekins for dips and spreads.
