Fabulous Party Platters for a Wedding Reception at Home
|
Many large supermarkets have Party Coordinators (inquire at the Deli), that can offer tips and suggestions. Some platters you may want to purchase already prepared, such as: Sushi Trays, Fully Cooked Party Meatballs, BBQ wings, and Classic Shrimp Cocktail Trays. You can also purchase made-to-order sub sandwiches. They are 2 Foot (serves 10-15), 4 Foot (serves 16-24), and 6 Foot (serves 25-30). They come with the following meatsroast beef, ham, turkey, chopped ham, cotto salami and beef bologna. These are some fabulous suggestions for party trays that can be assembled for only the cost of the food! Deviled Egg Tray Using a cake decorating tip, pipe the savory yoke mixture into the whites for a decorative touch. Garnish the top with olive slices. Mediterranean Delight Put a cup of chickpea dip (hummus) in the center of the tray. Surround with sections of roasted red peppers, Provolone cheese cubes, sliced salami, and Greek green and Kalamata olives. Arrange small pita triangles around the edge of the platter. Vegetable Trays There are so many possibilities, you can make several platters. Choose from these favorites: broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini sticks, green, red and yellow peppers. Fruit Trays -- Choose fruits that are in season. Fruits made also be cut bite-sized and served in a watermelon boat, for a festive presentation. Choose from these favorites: pineapple, honeydew melon, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, peaches, grapes, and kiwi.. (Bananas and apples will turn burn brown unless tossed in a small amount of lemon juice.) Classic Cheese Sampler -- In the center of the tray, put a small cheese ball surrounded by parsley. Arrange bite-sized cubes of hot pepper jack, Colby longhorn, Havarti, Colby jack, smoked cheddar and imported Swiss cheese. Finger Sandwiches -- Chicken and tuna are party favorites! Arrange on a platter and garnish with parsley and cherry tomatoes.
