Candy suggests:
• Rotisserie chicken cut
into bite-size pieces; or
roast whole chickens
after generously oiling
and evenly dusting
with a seasoning salt.
• Assorted bell peppers
cut into strips (if not
available, use fresh
celery and carrot strips)
• Ranch dressing as a dip
• Stuffed green olives and
black olives
•Tortilla chips and salsa
• Gazpacho can be presented in a hollowed-out
watermelon half. Cut the
melon flesh into chunks
and serve it on the tropical fruit plate. (Candy
notes, “Watermelon isn’t
tropical, but it works
well and I haven’t had
any complaints.”)
Candy’s Salsa Spread:
Spread 8 ounces cream
cheese in a dish and top
with 2 cups salsa. Use
chips to scoop salsa and
cream cheese together.
The softer the cheese,
the easier it is to scoop.
