- Allow cheese balls, dips and spreads that contain cream cheese or other cheese to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so for better flavor and spreadability.
- Garnish your appetizer platters with sprigs of fresh herbs, lemon wedges, small clusters of grapes, or small whole pickles.
- Think about strips of colorful sweet peppers, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and fresh sugar snap peas as dippers, besides the usual celery, carrot sticks and crackers.
- Place your dips in edible bowls made from red or green cabbage shells, or cored colorful sweet peppers. Fruit dips can be served in melon or grapefruit or orange shells.
- Pot luck appetizers should be able to be served cold or at room temperature.
- Save the hot appetizers for serving from your own kitchen.
