This vibrant and nutritious Plant-Based Party Plate is perfect for holiday gatherings or even low-key nights at home. It is simple to put together and features a variety of sweet and savory flavors so that everyone (vegan or not!) will enjoy!
Tips for creating a plant-based party plate
- Go for color! By simply swapping out regular carrots for rainbow carrots and regular hummus for beet hummus, you add so much fun to your plate!
- Choose sweet and savory. Offering both sweet and savory flavors balances out your plate and assures you have options to please each guest’s taste preferences.
- Offer options. For example, instead of having only one type of crackers, use two or three types of crackers in order to provide options that everyone will enjoy.
- Be creative. All of these tips and instructions are simply suggestions, feel free to tailor your plant-based party plate to your own taste preferences and don’t be afraid to go outside of the box!
- Over prepare. It is better to have leftovers (a pre-made snack for tomorrow!) than too little.
