What can I use instead of strawberries?
You can use any red fruit or vegetable. Cherries, raspberries, red apple slices are great alternatives for fruits. Red bell peppers and tomatoes are great vegetable alternatives.
What can I use instead of cheese for the white layer?
If you’d prefer to not use cheese, you can use white foods such as marshmallows, pieces of white chocolate, cauliflower, and even nuts such as pistachios. You can also use mozzarella cheese, Swiss cheese, Colby Jack cheese, etc. in place of the white cheddar.
How do I store leftovers?
You can cover leftovers with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
How to Make A Patriotic Charcuterie Board
After washing your fruit thoroughly and giving it time to dry, pull or slice the stems off your strawberries.
Place your blueberries in a small white bowl and place it in the corner as a placeholder for the square section.
For the red stripes, line the strawberries up in a double line, at the top of the platter, skip an equal amount of space and place another double line of strawberries. Skip another equal amount of space and at the very bottom of the platter place one final line of strawberries.
Be sure to keep your lines straight and be sure to line up the starting points of the first two double strawberry lines so the blueberry portion is even.
Slice your cheese blocks into about ¼-inch slices. Line two cheese slices up side by side in the two open lines. Add another stack on top of each cheese line.
You can either leave your blueberries in the bowl or pour them into the remaining, open space.
Serve and Enjoy!

If you knew the meaning of charcuterie, you'd know that it means smoked meat. Seriously? That's just another snack plate.
