The 2023 NCAA basketball tournament is well underway, with lots of excitement throughout the month. March Madness fans need fuel to cheer on their teams, and these five shareable snacks will hit the spot.
Creamy Habanero Pickle Dip with Spicy Paneer Chips
This creamy dip blends ranch dressing, pickle juice and habaneros with two types of cheese to create several layers of flavor. It can be served with tortilla chips for dipping, but Chef Brad Bergaus makes potato chip-crusted dippers from paneer cheese to triple the cheesy taste.
Wings are always a hit with armchair athletes on game days and this recipe is quick and easy to whip up. Chef Adrienne Cheatham gives the wings an Asian twist, tossing them with teriyaki takumi sauce after baking. Serve with plenty of napkins!
Hot honey and queso pair up for this fan favorite snack. It starts with a scratch-made queso base that can be prepared ahead, and the addition of shrimp and chorizo makes it heartier. Blue tortilla chips make for an eye-catching presentation.
Sliders are perfect watch party food for a crowd. Chef Jon Davis of La Brea Bakery fills these with braised beef instead of the typical burgers for a do-ahead filling that is convenient to portion out into split telera rolls.
Chef Leslie White created a vegetarian version of ceviche, subbing cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber and avocado for the usual seafood. It marinates overnight in the refrigerator to blend the flavors and is served with chips for handy scooping.
Brian Knutson and his U.S. Olympic Committee foodservice team started working on menus last September. This July, he visits Paris to lay the groundwork.
Summer is right around the corner, and so are several food-centric holidays. From National Donut Day to International Sushi Day, here’s a look at several marketing opportunities in the coming weeks.
