Spiff-up simple store-bought hummus with a splash of olive oil and a shake of paprika. Display accompanying veggies in cute glasses for interest and height.
Think of your charcuterie board as a blank canvas. All you need are a few simple ingredients along with your imagination and artistic flair! Start with your base of select meats and cheeses, add crackers, nuts, olives, spreads, and finish it off with fresh herbs and some kind of fruit - blackberries, cherries, grapes, or sliced peaches. Both add dimension, texture and and a great pop of color and freshness.
Popcorn! It’s so easy to pop up some old-fashioned popcorn on the stovetop. We like heirloom kernels with avocado oil. Add your favorite toppings and you’ve got a winner! Try classic salt, salt and pepper, truffle salt, lemon zest & Parmesan cheese, Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning…the sky is the limit! tip: add melted butter to taste to help the toppings stick.
Easiest of all…Combine roasted and salted cashews with dried cherries (top with a pinch of coarse sea salt) for the perfect sweet & salty bite.
It’s always fun to have a signature drink, or try a spritz bar! Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, Row & Whit’s Clementine & Herb Spritz, or any of your own creative combinations.
