We wanted to put together a farm-to-table Super Bowl menu inspired by some sweet and spicy California flavors. With Super Bowl LX (60) upon us, and taking place in Santa Clara California, we thought what better way to watch the Bad Bunny concert (we mean football game), than with some delicious fresh recipes featuring ceviche, dips, light bites, and some easy seasonal dessert.
Farm-to-Table Super Bowl Menu: Fresh Game Day Recipes
Historically, Super Bowl food tends to be a little bit on the greasy and heavy side. However we think, that it doesn’t have to be heavy to be satisfying.
So this year, we’re leaning into a farm-to-table approach. Inspired by the Super Bowl being in California, we thought fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors could be perfect for a game day menu that feels just as good as it tastes. Inspired by California’s love of seasonal produce and lighter bites, this spread is all about easy grazing, chilled seafood, fresh dips, and a dessert that lets fruit shine.
It’s the kind of menu that works whether you’re hosting a crowd or keeping things casual. It is flavorful, unfussy, and just perfect (if you ask us).
