Although we did hire a chef for our main meal, we wanted to whip up a few appetizers for when our guests arrive. When planning an event like this – dishes that you can prep ahead of time are critical. Also hot dishes are really a challenge to serve at an appropriate temperature, so we went with a fresh, cold dish approach. Here is what we served:
Endive with Grapes, Walnuts and Blue Cheese
Watermelon Bites with Feta and Mint
Crudites with Green Goddess Dip
A cheese plate is also another great idea, but we typically over indulge on cheese and never get to eating our meal, so we passed based on our lack of willpower. 🙂

Beautiful presentation. The feta and watermelon sound delicious, think I’ll try that before the summer is over!
