Red White and Blue Charcuterie Tray

With so many people spending more time at home and planning smaller gatherings, we thought a Red White and Blue Charcuterie tray would be a great addition to any gathering especially if you plan to serve wine.  Think about foods that are in your color scheme and make a list of things you like that fit under each color.  Then head to the grocery store and stock up.   Here are a few of our favorites: 

Red: 

Pepperoni, Red bell peppers, tomatoes, radishes, red grapes, strawberries, Raspberry Chipotle sauce, Kalamata olives.

White: 

Cauliflower, cream cheese, sour cream dips, mozzarella balls, white cheeses. White crackers, Baguette slices.

Blue: 

Blue corn Chips, Blueberries, black grapes (look blue), blueberry covered goat cheese. 

Now comes the fun part.  Find a good size serving plate, or several plates, small bowls etc. that fit with your theme.  Place your cream cheese in a container and cover with raspberry chipotle sauce, or even salsa. Prepare or set out your veggie dip (we like Dill Ranch dip you mix yourself with sour cream).  Slice your blueberry covered goat cheese.   As you place your items on the tray look to keep items that are the same color separated from each other.  Move things around so they fit and look good.  Now add an American Flag, set out some Patriotic napkins and small plates and you are ready to go.  All you need at this point is some good wine.  We can help with that if you like.
