Tips: Entertaining

  • At parties, try serving raw or marinated veggies as appetizers instead of the usual meat and cheese choices.


  • Create a “build your own pizza” party with a variety of toppings, including red, green, and yellow bell peppers, pineapple cubes, spinach, zucchini, and broccoli.


  • Have a fondue party with cut-up fruits, such as banana slices, strawberries, or pineapple.


  • Looking for a fun appetizer when you entertain? Try making spears of fruit by attaching strawberries, grapes, melon slices, or pineapple chunks onto small skewers. Use low-fat or non-fat yogurt for a dip.


  • Put some punch into your party by blending 100% fruit juices to create a refreshing new juice. Try mixing pineapple, orange, grapefruit, or other fruit juices. Add a slice of lemon or lime as a garnish.


  • Here’s a quick fruit salad you can make in less than a minute. Open a can of juice-pack mandarin oranges and empty into a bowl. Add a sliced banana, a sliced apple, and some blueberries or raisins. There you have it.


  • For holidays, why not buy a fruit or vegetable basket for home or as a gift?
