Can I assemble my 4th of July grazing board ahead of time?

Absolutely! I actually recommend prepping all your ingredients ahead and storing them separately in the fridge. Assemble the board itself 1-2 hours before serving - the berries stay freshest this way. Just cover it loosely with plastic wrap until showtime!

What if I can't find all the ingredients for my red white blue charcuterie?

No stress at all! The beauty of this patriotic snack board is its flexibility. Swap strawberries for watermelon cubes, use feta instead of mozzarella, or try blackberries if blueberries aren't available. As long as you keep the color scheme, it'll look gorgeous.

How do I keep everything from sliding around?

Ah, the eternal charcuterie struggle! I start by placing my dips in small bowls first - they act as anchors. Then build around them, using folded meats and cheese cubes to create little "walls" that hold berries in place. Those yogurt pretzels are great for filling gaps too!

Will this feed a big crowd?

This size serves about 8 comfortably, but it's super easy to double! Just use a larger board or even a clean baking sheet. I like adding extra crackers and nuts when feeding a crowd - they're inexpensive fillers that stretch your ingredients.
