BM #116 Day 2 -

Today's platter is all about dips and their counterparts. This  is a go-to platter for Kid centric parties, Graduation parties, Outdoor picnics/parties etc. We can also include an Indian dip like a ready made papdi chaat dip, tamarind date chutney etc. The ideas are many depending on the audience. 

In the platter featured today there is Spinach Artichoke Dip, Hummus, Marinara Sauce and Guacamole with Pita Chips, Tortilla Chips, Cheez-Its, Celery, Carrots and Cherry Tomatoes.

Spinach Artichoke Dip has been in my to-do list for a long time and now my kids ask for this every time we host or attend a backyard party. It is their absolute favorite now.

  3. Its a great platter for any kind of gathering. I have never been a chip and dip fan, but I am a convert now :-))! Artichoke dip has been in my to do list for sometime now, but given the amount of fat that goes into it, I have been hesitant. Should plan this the next time we meet our friends!
