Aloha! Try this delicious low-fat menu at your next summer dinner party. If you would like to serve a cocktail, choose one with rum and fruit juice or serve a pitcher of Mai Tai’s. For a simple
centerpiece, purchase a few pieces of tropical fruit such as mangos, papayas, pineapple, kiwis or coconuts and arrange in a bamboo basket on the table. A potted blooming orchid also makes an exotic centerpiece. Lay palm fronds on the buffet table or put one under each plate as a charger for an island feel.
If you are entertaining outside, light a few tiki torches for ambiance and play some relaxing Hawaiian music. Get into the island spirit and wear a Hawaiian shirt or dress. Just for fun, put a tropical flower such as a hibiscus or gardenia bloom in your hair and give one to each of your female guests with a bobby pin to attach. Have fun at your dinner party and enjoy this healthy, guilt-free menu.
Serve Mango Sorbet or Tropical Sherbet with fat-free Coconut Macaroons for dessert.
Menu – Serves 6-8
