In the deli section of your local supermart you'll find a variety
of party trays to choose from usually starting at around $15! Well,
if you look closely at what you get for your money, much of the
price goes into the prep work that's put in since the items are
food that you can pull together yourself to create the same
eye-catching, hearty and tasty platter that you can serve either at
your Cocktail Hour or at your Wedding Reception.
This beautiful platter is filled with ham and turkey slices that you can pick up at Walmart or a specialty store for under $3.00 for a pack with 25 slices. The Oscar Mayer brand is tasty and still affordable if you are not sure what to hamd and turkey slices to buy and Kraft is a popular choice when it comes to cheese.
The last wedding I attended had these on the menu and they were gone fairly quickly. They are simply made with soft taco shells, filled with slice turkey, ham, salami or roast beef. The green is usually lettuce, spinach or avocado in some cases. To create a vegetarian wrap you can use lettuce, tomato, cucumber, spinach and/or any veggie you think would be a tasty addition, but it easy to roll!
Once you have all you need, it's just a matter of layering, rolling, cutting and stacking till you're done.
In this platter there's watermelon, grapes, cantelope, strawberries, pineapple, orange and kiwi.
A good veggie platter with a tasty ranch dip is always a hit, and the colors are just so beautiful.
I love these finger-size subs. You can find a variety of bread to use at Walmart or most supermarkets that would be perfect for these. In the photo it looks as though the bread was diced first and the sandwiches were made individually, but I personally would just make a full sub then cut it every 2-3 inches.
These sandwiches are filled with tuna salad, egg salad, cheese spread, etc but you can just make regular sandwiches and cut them into fours.
If you'd rather just buy the platters, you can find these at a Publix near you starting at $24.99!
