This Fun in the Sun Board can be tailored to fit any number of servings, depending on the size of your gathering. Use a guideline of 2 Tbsp. hummus and 1 oz. EACH cheese, and crackers, or snacks per serving. For a well-balanced board, fill in empty spaces with fresh fruit.

Be sure to have plenty of crackers, snacks, fruit, and cucumbers on hand.

Note: The chili-lime seasoning is the perfect flavor complement to the pineapple.
