Do not worry about getting elaborate with party food and drinks. Instead, inspire your guests and refresh your senses with an array of teas, lemon and cucumber water.
Put together a snacking tray of seasonal fruits (pears, blueberries, apples and strawberries) or vegetables (carrots, radishes, cucumbers, celery and snow peas). Tahini hummus and baba ghanouj are healthy dipping options.
Organic whole grain crackers, locally-made cheeses and all-natural granola or trail mix round out the snacking options. This easy hummus recipe replaces most of the traditional tahini with yogurt.
If your hummus is too thick, add a little liquid from the chickpeas-about a teaspoon at a time. You can also thin out the hummus by adding warm water or olive oil
