Olympics Party Food Ideas Your Guests Will Love
Your Olympics-themed party isn't complete without these delicious and easy-to-make Olympics party food ideas! They are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Salsa Verde Dip
To make salsa verde dip, blend one cup each of fresh parsley and coriander, two cloves of garlic, one small seeded jalapeño, the juice of one lime, a quarter cup of olive oil and salt to taste until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed. This vibrant dip pairs perfectly with tortilla chips and veggie sticks. Serve immediately or chill in your fridge until ready to serve and enjoy this zesty and refreshing dip at your Olympics-themed party!
Charcuterie Board
To create a charcuterie board, start with a large platter or wooden board. Arrange an assortment of cured meats such as salami, prosciutto and chorizo alongside various cheeses like brie, cheddar and gouda. Add a selection of olives, pickles and dried fruits for extra flavour. Include crackers, baguette slices and breadsticks for a crunchy element. Complement the spread with fresh fruits like grapes and berries, and add nuts such as almonds and walnuts. Finish with small bowls of spreads like honey, mustard and fig jam for dipping.
Pepperoni Pizza
To make a pepperoni pizza, start with a pre-made pizza crust. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the crust, then evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese, covering the pizza to your preference. Preheat your oven to 220°C and bake the pizza directly on the oven rack or a pizza stone for 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Slice and serve hot, enjoying the classic flavours.
Garlic Bread Cob Loaf Dip
To make a garlic bread cob loaf dip, preheat your oven to 175°C, then hollow out a round cob loaf and keep the bread chunks. In a bowl, mix 225g of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of grated cheddar and 2 to 3 minced garlic cloves. Fill the hollowed loaf with the mixture, wrap it in foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly. Serve with the reserved bread chunks for dipping.
Olympics Party Games Ideas For Endless Entertainment
At your Olympics-themed party, you can easily keep the fun going by hosting a range of fun and engaging Olympics party games.
