Read on to get an idea on how to dole out some tasty appetizers. These are pretty easy to make, so you shouldn't have a problem while doing so.
Best Party Appetizers
Salsa Twin: Tantalize the taste buds of the guests by serving them Santa Fe Pineapple Salad. It includes (as the name goes) pineapple, red beans, cilantro, chopped bell pepper, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeno and lime juice. It is akin to a salsa, but not the same.
'Arty' Hearty: This recipe is spinach and brie-topped Artichoke Hearts. To prepare this appetizer, stuff artichoke hearts using seasoned and cooked spinach with melted brie on top. It just takes 15 minutes to prepare. What you need is 9-ounce box frozen artichoke hearts, 2/3 cup cooked chopped spinach, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 18 thin slices brie. Pre-heat the broiler and make the artichoke hearts according to directions. Follow that up by combining spinach, lemon, pepper and salt in a bowl. Now just top each artichoke with the spinach mixture and brie. Broil the artichokes until the cheese melts. This is one of the healthier appetizer recipes for a party.
A la French: Dish out delectable Turkey Canapes to tantalize your guests palates. Have crackers as the base and spread herbed cream cheese. Now top those crackers with small slices of deli turkey meat, followed by cucumber slice and garnish with a sprig of dil.
Asian All the Way: Go for an Asian vegetable roll accompanied with soy lime dipping sauce. It will be a delight for the vegetarians. Have cucumber, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions finely chopped. Prepare the sauce by mixing the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, a teaspoon of vegetable (or olive) oil and red pepper flakes. Follow it up by stirring these contents together and then mix with vegetables till they have blended together. In lettuce leaves, scoop this vegetable mixture and make a roll. Serve with the dip left over.
Rock and Roll: This is yet another roll, but it is sure to be liked by almost everyone because it is simply a delightful chicken and egg roll. Make it in the fajita style and switch between steak and pork.
Simply Snack: Keep cereal at your disposal, if possible oats, rice, wheat or bran. Then add pretzel nuggets, dry fruit, mini crackers, nuts or sesame sticks to it. Embellish it with your favorite seasoning, be it the italiano or the cayenne pepper. You are done! An easy to make party appetizer!
The Ultimate Favorite: How can this be missed? Yes I am talking about pigs in a blanket! Have loads of it ready because it is going to be devoured like crazy by the guests ( Uh-do I need to give the recipe?).
These were some of the simplest and most convenient appetizers to make the whole party food a hit. There are zillions of others like grilled figs, spring rolls, deviled eggs- (mashed egg yolks blended well with mayo mustard and salt filled in egg whites), meatballs and so on.
This is where I sign off!
