Are you hosting an event over Christmas and want to treat your guests to a more nutritious range of canapes and snacks?
Here is our handy guide to nutritious party food:
- Provide a great selection of stuffed olives – olives stuffed with anchovies, feta, manchego, chillies, almonds and lemons are all readily available
- Spend a little time chopping raw vegetables (carrots, peppers, celery, cucumber) and serve with a homemade hoummous
- Rustle up your own guacamole – here’s a link to one of my favourites. It always tastes so much better than a shop bought version
- Provide bowls of raw nuts (walnuts, pecans, cashews) rather than roasted ones
- Serve marinated anchovies drizzled in olive oil
- Dip brazil nuts in melted dark chocolate for a sweet treat
- Stuff dates with almonds for a middle eastern treat
- Buy mini oatcakes and serve with smoked salmon or mackerel pate
- Wrap prunes in parma ham
- Serve hard boiled quails eggs – a bit fiddly to peel, but they look so pretty and will impress your guests
