MSG 21+ Now that it’s Springtime, I’m excited about entertaining outside again. I love making healthy beautiful party platters for my friends, as we all enjoy fresh food. As an artistic food challenge, I recently started creating platters limited to two colors. It’s a fun dynamic food effect, and I have to get creative to find healthy food additions that fit the color scheme! For this party platter creation, I chose purple and green as the primary colors.
I loaded up with fresh broccoli, cucumbers, purple cauliflower, purple corn chips, blueberries and blackberries and a couple of kiwis. The sky is the limit as to what you may add! Try your own color combos and start hunting for foods that will fit various color combo schemes: red & purple, yellow & green, orange & green, etc. It’s a kick!
TWO COLOR PARTY PLATTER DIY VIDEO
As you can see, the party platter is fairly easy to assemble. Make an ‘ in color’ veggie dip, or buy a prepared one if you’re short on time. For my quick green dip, I simply blended avocado, low-fat sour cream, a dash of olive oil, lemon, and fresh garlic. You can pick up natural or organic chips, dressings, veggies and cheeses for an easy platter at your local Grocery Outlet. They are also having their AWESOME 20% off Wine Sale right now, so it’s the perfect time to stock up.
I scored a CASE of French Rose’ for less than $40 with the discount! This sale only goes until April 3rd, so find your closest location & preview sale wines here.
I was also able to pick up some nice Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon and Sonoma Chardonnay during the wine sale Grocery Outlet is a family-owned business that offers high-quality products at 40-70% less than traditional grocery stores. Grocery Outlet strives to provide a surprising and delightful shopping trip, a “treasure hunt” that wow’s their customers with quality products at extremely low prices. They get their amazing deals by via closeouts, packaging changes, and order cancellations – the products are great quality; sometimes a vendor changes their order and the manufacturer is stuck with the surplus product. This is how Grocery Outlet is able to pass the savings on to the customer!
