How To Make An American Flag Fruit Charcuterie Board
1. Wash and dry the strawberries and blueberries.
2. Create the “Stars” Section by placing a small square bowl in the top left corner of your board. Fill it with blueberries to represent the star field.
3. Prep the Fruit by slicing strawberries into halves or quarters (these will be your red stripes).
4. Slice bananas into even rounds (these will be your white stripes).
5. Build the Stripes. Starting at the top, create alternating rows: Row 1: Strawberries (red)Row 2: Bananas (white). Continue alternating until the board is filled.
6. Nudge the pieces into neat lines so the flag looks clean and defined.
Important Tips For This Patriotic Recipe
Wash the Fruit: Make sure to wash your fruit before assembling the board!
Cut the Strawberries: Cut the strawberries into halve or quarters. Try your best to cut them into evenly-sized pieces.
Add Stars: You can add stars to the blueberry dish by cutting out any white colored fruit into star shapes (pink apples are always a favorite and are a great white color for the stars!)
