Think about the last time you went to a dinner party. Surely, the hosts brought out a new recipe they were trying or one of their classic dishes. For a dinner party, you want the dinner to be special. You don’t want to just serve baked chicken, broccoli, and a cup of steamed rice.

Even though that’s quite nutritious, it’s also quite boring. You want to make sure and wow your guests, not put them to sleep with an everyday recipe. It’s all about mixing it up.

But, you can take regular, everyday food and make a delicious meal out of it. Now there’s no need to fret when you take a look at your pantry.

Cantaloupe

By far the easiest recipe on this list, we’re going to start with the delicious fruit of cantaloupe. You can find it in just about every store and it’s a great source of vitamin C, meaning you don’t have to rely on oranges the entire time.

One of the more popular Italian appetizers (apertivi) is melon with ham/prosciutto. It’s a great mixture of sweet and salty.

All you do is cut up cantaloupe into long slices and place them around a plate. Then, you take slices of prosciutto or thinly sliced ham and lay them on top. Take some toothpicks or cocktail sticks and stab them into the ham and melon.

That’s it, that’s all you have to do. Total prep time on this is less than five minutes!
