- Start by cutting the watermelon in half and then into thin slices.
- Use a star cookie cutter and cut star shapes out of the watermelon. Set aside.
- Cut the cheese into small cubes and set aside. You could also use sliced cheese and use a small star cutter to cut out shapes.
- Break the white chocolate into small chunks and set aside.
- Remove the Prosciutto from the package and cut the pieces in half and set aside. If you decide to go with different styles of meats you can roll them to save space.
- Slice the grapefruit into thin slices and sprinkle with some sugar if desired. Set aside.
Start assembling the charcuterie board by placing the largest items of food down first such as the creamy onion dip, watermelon, grapefruit, chips, and Prosciutto.
- Then tuck in blueberries, cheddar cheese, mozzarella pearls, cashews, chocolate, cherries, and marshmallows in between the bigger items until you like how the board looks.
- Add toothpicks and any other items mentioned above that can add to the patriotic-themed board and serve immediately.
