Shelly shows off spreads for every occasion (breakfast in bed!), but today she is walking us through a picnic-perfect platter.
First things first, crostini
Always remember to have a vehicle for your food. Crackers, bread, veggie slices and chips are all great options, but my favorite is the crostini.
Pink Hummus
You don't need to spend all day in the kitchen to create a plentiful party buffet. Make a simple dip (like this Pink Hummus!) and build the board around it.
Pistachio Herb Pesto
Pistachios add wonderful depth to this pesto, so slather it on your toasts and top with fresh mozzarella.
Chili Garlic Lime Compound Butter
An added bonus? This flavor-packed butter can be made ahead!
