CNN —Although the so-called “girl dinner” is being popularized by young women promoting throw-together meals on TikTok, it’s in fact an inclusive meal.
I’m a middle-aged girl, and this is the style of meal I’ve been calling “snack dinner” for years.
The original “girl dinner” TikTok video, posted by Olivia Maher, featured a countertop spread of grapes, cornichons, bread and cheese.
There are really no rules for preparing the perfect "girl dinner" — start with your favorite snack elements and expand from there.
Your solo snack plate dinner doesn’t have to include bread, cheese or charcuterie if that’s not your personal preference.
