Ina Garten Shares Her 3 Favorite Party Appetizers, Zero Cooking Required

When it comes to having friends over for dinner, the last thing Ina wants to do is spend hours making fussy hors d’oeuvres (she really is a woman after our own heart).

Instead, she chooses simple, no-cook salty nibbles that pair well with drinks. Yasss, queen.

Her favorites? Potato chips made by a local store (though store-bought is just fine), salted cashews sprinkled with a pinch of extra sea salt and heirloom cherry tomatoes. 

And because no one wants to stick their hand into a potato chip bag, just make sure you break out your nice silver bowls for the occasion.

In Ina’s words: “Everyone is going to have a really good time, including you.”
