Red, white and blue with zero cooking. Perfect for cookouts and summer parties.
Quick answer
The classic 4th of July board is a flag: blueberries in the top corner, then alternating stripes of strawberries or raspberries and white foods (mozzarella, white cheddar, marshmallows, banana). Keep it shaded and swap it out after an hour in summer heat.
