With busy summer afternoons I tend to lean towards making snack platters more frequently than heavy meals. I love throwing together some meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, etc. and arranging them on a pretty platter to create a tasty meal that we can all nibble at.
After a long day spent outdoors in the sun, my family always enjoys winding down inside watching a movie and while snacking on a platter. I don’t normally go out and buy anything special for them, it’s just things that I already have at home to eat.
The last snack platter I made had turkey,salami, cheeses, crackers, pretzels, cherries, strawberries, pistachios, kalamata olives, and an oregano dip.
I placed them around a serving platter (I like to use wooden cutting boards) and added a few sprigs of rosemary from my garden as a garnish.
I used Frontier Co-op’s Oregano Leaf to create the oregano dip. Frontier is committed to providing pure seasonings that taste great and promote healthy communities, as well as a healthy planet. They source their spices from growers committed to quality sustainability, and Ethical trade. Working hand-in-hand with their growers, they strive to build and foster partnerships that positively impact communities around the globe – all while providing the highest quality products to their customers.

I feel like this dip would be perfect with some black pepper pretzel crisps! I’m saving this recipe for my next party!
That does sound good!
I like the healthier alternative to a serving dip. Will be making this soon!
Who doesn’t love a good dip. The party tray looks great and the dip will be a great new addition to my next gathering.
