- Salami thinly sliced
- Spanish chorizo thinly sliced

- Emmental cheese cubed
- White cheddar cubed or sliced

Instructions
- Grab a clean, wooden board or tray.
- Add the charcuterie (meats), cheese, olives, fruit, crackers and breadsticks, starting from the center of the board/tray and working your way out. You can use small dishes on the board to separate some items like the olives.
- Add some red, white and blue inspired decorations, napkins, toothpicks etc. for the finishing touches.
- Serve!
Notes
- If you would like to prepare it ahead of time, cover it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. Serve it within one day.
- While it's best served immediately, you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. I recommend storing the items individually.
- The meats balance the board out with their reddish color. You can also pick from red fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and strawberries.
- Brie has a nice white rind that works well with the red, white and blue theme. You can add other white cheeses to the board if you have a favorite. Fuet also has a white outer layer, which is why I picked it for this board. Crackers and breadsticks can also be used to represent the white color.
- We get the blue from the berries, but you can find blue-colored jams. Blue corn chips would be great as well!
- Of course, charcuterie is very often paired with wine, and nearly any type will do. A classic red, sweet white, or fruity blueberry wine would be excellent choices for a summer party and would pair beautifully with the red, white and blue theme. For underage guests, sparkling cider or grape juice would be equally luxurious.
