I have been meaning to try this colorful kitchen experiment. This morning, I finally had some time (as well as the ingredients on hand). It was so quick and easy to make and serve!

My inspiration was football season, actually. I wanted to create a delicious snack tray for the game viewing today before all the nachos, quesadillas & hot wings made their appearance.

I hope you all try this recipe out for your next Sunday Football Party or maybe even at dinner alongside chicken kebabs and fatuoush salad.
