Method
 

Build the American flag layout
  1. Use a large rectangular wooden board or serving tray and mentally divide the upper left into a canton rectangle.
  2. Fill the canton with blueberries packed tightly together, then tuck rolled salami pieces in the center to resemble stars.
  3. Starting from the top right of the board, create a red stripe by layering pepperoni slices in a clean row across the full width of the board.
  4. Create the white stripes using rows of sliced white cheddar or mozzarella balls, alternating with the red stripes down the full board.
  5. Add prosciutto folds or strawberry halves to reinforce the red stripes and fill any gaps.
  6. Tuck rosemary sprigs at the corners and edges, then arrange crackers around the perimeter and serve.
No-cook serving note
  1. Keep the flag grazing board chilled until serving for the best texture and easiest slicing of crackers and meats.

Notes

Pro tip: pack the blueberries firmly in the canton and keep the pepperoni rows straight so the flag looks crisp in overhead photos. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; do not freeze assembled boards. For a lighter option, swap prosciutto and one cheese portion for extra mozzarella or grilled chicken-free deli meat alternatives (still keep the flag pattern the same).
