brats and dogs on a patriotic table!
if you love casual entertaining, charcuteries can be one of the easiest ways to present a meal. they’re often designed to look fancy, but they don’t have to be to still look great!
all you need is an oversized tray and you can make just about anything into a self-serve station! carried right from the grill to the table…it doesn’t get any easier!
i added small bowls filled with my family’s favorites for topping their dogs…
chili dogs are fun too, so try using a small pot that can go from the stovetop to the table!
nestle another tray filled with plates and napkins in with all the food. it will still create a pretty tabletop and makes setup a breeze…
and i can’t think of anything more refreshing to serve with bbq food than watermelon! plus it matches a patriotic theme too!
party tip:
try using a covered cake platter for serving sliced fruit. it looks darling and will keep those pesky fruit-loving flies away too!
if you have gaps between your food on the tray…just use any extra fruit to fill them. here, i used the end pieces of the melon to tuck into the voids!
and even though this patriotic table isn’t bursting with red, white and blue…a vase filled with sparklers adds holiday festivity! you don’t have to go overboard with traditional holiday colors if you don’t have them on hand!
memorial day, 4th of july or ANY summer bbq…
try a casual charcuterie for your outdoor festivities!
brats and dogs for the summertime win!
