Casual events filled with friends and family call for a relaxed catering menu with comfort food everyone loves. Start your meal with an appetizer catering menu heavy on dips and spreads.
Offer dips from your menu in single serving glasses to make them simple to sample and easy for kids’ hands. Crackers, pita bread, corn chips and vegetables all pair well with tons of spreads and are easy to stack on appetizer-sized plates.
Cheesy Dips that Make Great Appetizers
Game day gatherings, birthday celebrations and casual engagement parties all call for cheesy dips.

Salsa: The salsa options are endless. Consider traditional, green, black bean, corn and mango salsas.
Taco Dip: Layers of refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese deserve handmade tortilla chips.
Upgrade Your Appetizer Catering Menu
Dips and spreads belong on menus at many kinds of events. There are plenty of options, even if beer cheese and taco dip don’t fit among other menu items or your venue.
