Ingredients
  

4th of july party ideas ingredients
  • 6 oz salami
  • 8 oz brie
  • 1 box crackers
  • 2 lb green grapes

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep the tray
  1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then pat the green grapes dry and set aside for a clean presentation.
  2. Slice the brie into wedges so it spreads easily on the board, keeping the wedges bite-sized.
Arrange the red-white-green spread
  1. Fold or roll the salami and place it along one side of the tray, aiming for visible deep red bands.
  2. Set the brie wedges on the opposite side, leaving a small gap between pieces so the creamy color stands out.
  3. Pour or fan the crackers across the center so they’re accessible for building combinations.
  4. Scatter the green grapes in clusters between the crackers and salami, using varied heights for a fuller look.
Serve
  1. Let the board sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving so the brie softens slightly and the flavors taste balanced, not cold.

Notes

Pro tip: build in layers—crackers in the middle, salami and brie on opposite sides, then grapes in clusters—to keep every bite visibly themed. Store assembled boards in the fridge up to 2 days (crackers may soften); keep brie and grapes separate if making ahead. Freezing isn’t recommended for brie and crackers. Dietary swap: use gluten-free crackers if needed to accommodate gluten sensitivity.
