This weekend, I’ve offered to host an afternoon barbeque at my house. I know, it’s a bit early to start the barbeque season. In fact, I’ve got my fingers crossed that my trusty grill will fire up after this long winter. But I’m a sucker for parties and I certainly miss spending time out on the deck, enjoying good food and friends!
As always, I want to offer some healthy options for the day, so I’m planning on buying apples, strawberries and bananas. To make things more interesting, though, I’m going to make this super-simple tropical fruit dip from a recipe by the American Heart Association.
If you give this a try, let me know what you think!
