A Red, White, & Blue Platter is a great last minute idea for anyone looking for an easy way to bring a little cheer to their 4th of July celebrations this year. Just grab some red and blue fruit and pair it with sliced white cheese for a red, white, and blue theme.

If you want to keep the board all sweet, swap the cheese out for mini-marshmallows…

…and put out some skewers for serving.

This recipe is so easy, it really doesn’t even need a recipe!  But here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing…and be sure to use whatever you already have in your fridge as a starting point:

Red Fruit:
Strawberries
Raspberries
Cherries
Watermelon
Red Grapes

Blue-ish Fruit:
Blueberries
Blackberries
Purple Plums
Huckleberries
Black Grapes

White Cheeses:
Havarti
White Cheddar
Gouda
Mozarella
… or even Cheese Curds

Other White Options:
Mini White Marshmallows
Sliced Apples

Creamy Orange Fruit Dip

Another simple option would be to make a batch of my Creamy Orange Fruit Dip to serve alongside  some red, white, and blue fruit.  It’s an all time favorite at our house!

Happy 4th of July, friends!!
