The Best Dishes to Bring

 

You can modify traditional favorites to make them healthier yet still delicious. Next time you get an invite, try one of these:

For an appetizer:
Jazz up a platter of crudités with some more exotic veggies, such as daikon radish, jicama, yellow and orange bell peppers, or fennel, and some roasted garlic hummus (for dipping) drizzled with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil (instead of heavy onion or ranch dip).

For a dessert:
Slice sweet and crisp Fugi apples and layer in a soufflé pan with a touch of butter mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, then top with a sprinkles of low-fat granola.
