The festive season is upon us which means more entertaining. No matter what the event, if it’s yours or a friends, at any social gathering a grazing platter is always welcome! And it doesn’t need to be complicated. You can make an epic healthy platter in no time. Enjoying a healthy platter is also a great way to keep your health in check, let me show you how…

Think colours - crisp veggie sticks, colourful dips, cold-cuts of meat, nuts, dried fruit, crackers, fancy cheese. Have fun with it! This platter I created is one that I often make with lots of fresh ingredients. The best part is that I literally made this in about 15 minutes as you only need to chop up a few ingredients, add some ingredients into small bowls, then throw the rest onto a chopping board. Sometimes I like to get fancy and make my own pesto, hummus and fancy snacks, but during this time of year I prefer to keep it simple and buy the ingredients.

Ingredients:

 100 g smoked salmon
 250 g gouda cheese
 150 g organic cows or goats feta
 1 pot of hummus
 1 pot of genoese pesto
 ½ jar organic green olives
 3 tomatoes
 5 small carrots
 2 Lebanese cucumber
 2 large avocadoes
 1 handful of almonds
 1-2 packets of crackers
 1 sourdough loaf

Method:

1

Chop up the veggies anyway you fancy. I like to chop the cucumber and carrots into sticks, slice the tomato into quarters or half moons, and slice the avocado in half and then into thin slices.

2

Add hummus, olive, pesto, nuts into small bowls.

3

Roll up the salmon into bit size pieces.

4

Slice a few slices of the bread into your desired thickness and place bread onto a medium sized chopping board.

5

Place all ingredients onto a large chopping board in any way you fancy with a couple of cheese knives and teaspoons for the dips.
