- 12 slices of mild salami

Instructions
- I wanted to create a red, white, and blue order across the board, starting with the star in the middle.
- I started by using a star-shaped cookie cutter in the middle of this marble board, then filled it with the red, white, and blue M&M's.
- Fold or roll the salami and place it near cheeses and dips.
- Creating small clusters throughout the board makes it feel full and intentional.
- Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries, and cherry plums throughout the board.
- Slice dragon fruit and tuck pieces into open spaces.
- Arrange cookies, pretzel rods, candy bars, and M&M candies around the board.
- This is where the magic happens. Add mini cupcakes, bowls of preserves and aioli, and your cheeses across the board.
- Scatter blueberries, M&Ms, and smaller fruit into empty spots until the board feels abundant and full.
- I also placed the cookie stars on top of the meats, cheeses, and other items across the board.
