Create a Winning Game Board with 10 Easy Tips!

1. Set a bracket; position bowls & plates of hummus & spreads on a board, then add the pairings.

2. Make a 3 pointer; use 3 each cheese, fruit, meat & veggie combos.

3. Center on fresh; cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, sliced carrots, mini pickles, or radishes.

4. Drive different colors, flavors, & textures, team together soft & crunchy, salty & sweet.

5. Make it a playmaker: use fresh seasonal fruit for peak flavor, pair with savory bites.

6. Contrast textures: add warm olives, crunchy toasted nuts, seeded crackers & whole grain bread.

7. Lay-up the flavors: drizzle extra virgin olive oil over plain yogurt, add herbs to sour cream.

8. Assist with finger ready; cut food and place toothpicks or small forks for easy access.

9. Set up the serve; remove the board from the fridge 15 minutes before eating for fullest flavors.

10. Make a slam dunk, pair drinks to food, not the other way around. Choose wines with higher acidity than food to complement flavors.
