- Arrange red (salami) in a linear stripe or fanned sections.
- Fill a small corner with blueberries to create a “blue field.”

Notes
Suggested dipping and serving ideas
- Dips: a bright red salsa or simple whipped feta dip to contrast with blues and whites; a ranch or garlic-herb dip works well too.
- Be mindful of portions: offer a mix of savory, crisp, and creamy options to satisfy different tastes.
Make-ahead and serving tips
- Keep crackers crisp: Pack crackers in an airtight container until service to keep them from getting soggy.
- Temperature: If you’re serving later, keep dairy items chilled and cover the board with plastic wrap until a few minutes before guests arrive to maintain freshness.
