This American Flag Cheese Tray is such a cute and clever way to serve snacks on the 4th of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day!
I put together this American Flag Cheese Tray as a last-minute 4th of July snack lunch and it was such a huge hit with my family! We all oohed and aahed over it as we gathered around to dig in to all the deliciousness.
I created the flag shape with all red, white and blue foods. Red fruits, veggies, crackers and meat. White cheeses, nuts and crackers. Blueberries and a blueberry covered cheese log with white cheese cut into little stars. It all came together for one stunning patriotic platter!

- Semi-Soft Fontina, cut into little stars
- Dried Montmorency Cherries
- Coconut Cashews
- Mini Pearl Grape Tomatoes
- Savory Thin Mini Crackers

- Blue Cheese
- Calabrese Salame
- Unexpected White Cheddar Cheese
- Three Seed Beet Crackers
- Truffle Marcona Almonds

I used an American Flag decorated serving tray that I got from Target a few years ago to easily create the flag design and I’m so sad to say that they don’t carry it anymore (please bring it back, Target!). No need to worry though, I searched around and found a few other great looking American Flag Trays you could use:
American Flag Melamine Tray with Handles from Sur La Table
4th of July Party Large Patriotic Serving Tray from Amazon
Here are images of the trays for comparison:
It’s super easy and makes for a such a great patritoic display. Here’s to WOWing your crowd on the 4th of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day!
Enjoy!
