Pro Tips for Success:

  • Chill your ingredients before assembling—cold cheese and meat hold their shape better and stay fresh longer at outdoor parties.

  • Use a small star cookie cutter for neater mozzarella stars—mini shapes look adorable and hold up better on the board.

  • Substitute turkey pepperoni or a vegetarian option if you’re serving guests with dietary restrictions.

  • Swap in cherry tomatoes or red grapes if you’re not a fan of pepperoni or want a lighter, kid-friendly version.

  • Use toothpicks or mini skewers for easy, mess-free snacking—especially handy for picnic and BBQ setups.

  • Add crackers or mini breadsticks around the board for crunch and to help guests build their own little bites.

  • Place on a chilled tray or over ice packs if serving outside in hot weather—it keeps your mozzarella from getting too soft.

 

There you have it—your festive 4th of July Charcuterie Board that’s simple, fun, and sure to get oohs and aahs from your party guests.

Whether you’re hosting a big backyard BBQ or packing up for fireworks at the park, this patriotic platter brings big flavor and red, white, and blue flair to the table.

Happy 4th, and happy snacking!
