Crudites and dips: celery sticks, trimmed radishes, raw mushrooms, jicama sticks, and small sweet peppers on a party platter with one or two low carb dips. The vegetables are low in calories and carbs, provide a nice satisfying crunch, and are easy to prepare.
Berries and cream: Instead of high calorie, high sugar cheesecake bites, cookies, and other confections, place mixed berries in a festive serving bowl and top with unsweetened whipped cream. Your guests will love the natural sweetness and color of the fresh fruit as well as the indulgent topping of cream.
Cheese plate: Small bites of artisan cheeses, slices of fruit and whole nuts are a divine party offering. Visit your local supermarket deli or specialty cheese shop and buy three or four different types of cheese. Pair them with apples, pears, grapes and other fresh fruit. Serve with small bowls of walnut and pecan halves, hazelnuts, and almonds.
