roll hearts of palm sticks in thick lean ham slices. cut the ham to the perfect length so that it just wraps around once. then run toothpicks through to hold the ham in place -- at 1/2 inch intervals. slice between each toothpick. turn on their sides so that they lay flat, then arrange on platter. makes a pretty pink circle around the creamy white heart of palm. They are delish! You can also do with turkey, but not as nice a presentation.
I have also taken asparagus spears and loosely wrapped/draped a super-thin deli slice of ham, also run toothpick through, but this one you lay on platter whole.
These look nice on platter together.0 -
My favorite is breaded zucchini sticks. Use Panko crumbs rather than normal bread crumbs and back them in the oven.0

top with a little 2% cheddar
bake until cheddar is melted and browned to your desire
They average about 25 calories each and are sooooooooo yummy!0 -

That sounds great!!!
my family also does a bunch of apps rather than a meal. I've been struggling as to what I will eat AND what I will bring.
Will check back to look for more ideas! Thanks!0 -
Some people may not like these but my friends and I love them.
You take green onions -do not cut them
around the bottom on the actual onion bulb spread cream cheese
wrap a piece of low sodium deli ham around the cream cheese and secure it with a toothpick.
Done.0 -
I made a spinach dip on Sunday with Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream... my roommate is a chef and she said it was better then the ones made with sour cream (how true that is, I'm not sure?).
To me, it tasted better. You can try that!0 -

Green Asparagus wrapped in serrano ham, sprinkle with a little black pepper and olive oil and put under the grill for a couple of mins. My absolute favourite party finger food.
ETA: You can also use parma ham or blackforest ham :-)0 -
Rice paper rolls made with rice paper from an Asian supermarket. Soak the paper in warm water as per the instructions on the packet. Put some fresh prawns, fresh herbs, shredded cucumber or carrot, rice noodles in the middle and roll them up like a spring roll or burrito. Serve with a sweet chilli sauce or any other dipping sauce you like.0

I do a lower fat version of escargot:
1 can rinsed escargot
1 tray of mushrooms, quartered
minced garlic, minced red onion
1/3 cup of garlic hummus
lemon juice
salt and lots of pepper
1/4 to a 1/2 grated cheese
Toss together, through in a small casserole dish or make individual servings in french onion bowls.
Bake until it all looks oooey gooey good
For a spicy kick, I sometimes through in some minced jalepenos.
So good!0
