Summer Antipasto Board
Place hummus and cheeses on large board or platter. Fill in empty spaces on board with tomatoes, cucumbers, crackers and snacks. Add small bowls of remaining vegetables for extra flavor and some basil leaves for color.
This antipasto 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 vegetables. For the 20 servings shown here, figure on purchasing 2 (10-oz.) containers of hummus and 1-1/4 lb. (20 oz.) of cheese (total weight of both cheeses). Be sure to have plenty of crackers, snacks and fresh vegetables on hand.
Tips Substitute: Prepare using your favorite seasonal fresh vegetables, such as bell pepper strips. You should plan on having a total of 4 cups fresh vegetables on hand to arrange on the board. Food Facts: The marinated artichoke hearts and pepperoncini should be enjoyed in small quantities since they are high in sodium. Fortunately a small serving of each packs a lot of flavor.
