Since this charcuterie board is for the Fourth of July, I gave it a red, white and blue theme. Choose fruit, meat and cracker or chip ingredients in those colors. Place the dip on the board and arrange the ingredients around the bowl starting with the red ingredients, like pepperoni, cherries and watermelon slices shaped like stars.
Slice the watermelon and us e a star shaped cookie cutter to cut the stars out.
Add the white ingredients under the red. Use foods like white colored crackers or chips and cheeses.
Lastly, add blue hued ingredients like grapes, blackberries or blueberries, and blueberry goat cheese. Arrange these under the white ingredients.
