6 Delicious Garden Party Menu Ideas

As a gardener and one who enjoys hosting dinner parties, I feel like I’m almost always hosting some sort of outdoor dining party in the garden.

Even when the party is set indoors.

I enjoy bringing the outside in and the inside out to blend both my garden and the home’s living spaces.

While I lean towards a garden-style approach to decorating and entertaining, today’s menu was created with a fete champetre theme in mind.

To me, with a garden party menu, the dishes should be bright, fresh, delicious, and beautiful.

So my supper club and I pulled together an incredible menu for the event that does just that!

Easy Hummus Recipe with Rice Cake Flowers

This month, I was in charge of the appetizer, so I decided to share my easy-to-make creamy hummus recipe.

If you’ve had hummus before, it’s not the prettiest dip on its own, so I searched Pinterest for some ideas and found these pretty rice cake flowers.

So I decided to replicate them for this outdoor garden party.

Aren’t they adorable?

This is a great healthy snack idea or the perfect appetizer for a garden party.

And it’s a fun way to get your kids and grandbabies involved in the kitchen too.
