Plan your own “girl dinner”
Hello,
If you’ve been mindlessly scrolling through your TikTok feed recently, you would’ve probably heard of this new food trend called “girl dinner”. In essence, a girl dinner is simply a platter of delectable nibbles (uncooked or minimally cooked), and the usual choices include cured meats, a range of cheese varieties, fruits, nuts, crackers, or really, anything you want—including things you need to clear out from the fridge.
The trend’s creator, Olivia Maher, shares that these mini feasts are all about the freedom and joy of eating what you want, and a liberation of what a traditional meal is supposed to be. So, in that spirit, we give you some ideas to plan your next girl dinner. Enjoy!
