On many occasions, such as school or family functions, fetes or social clubs, we are asked to bring some food along. It seems that people often choose to bring rich foods such as pates, quiches, rich dips, cheeses or cakes, and by the end of the get-together many people will have consumed lots of unnecessary kilojoules (calories).
Good breads, vegetable soups, raw vegetables with low-fat yoghurt dips (and ones containing dried beans or chick peas), lean cold meats, cold fish, salads and seasonal fresh fruits will always be a most welcome addition to a table laid with richer dishes. For seasoning, yoghurt dressings are excellent, and a dip can be made from grated cucumber and a yoghurt dressing. Try serving grated carrots mixed with raisins in scooped-out tomato halves or on celery sticks. And steamed, cooked beans or asparagus seasoned with lemon and pepper are superb.
