What are some healthy appetizers?

I make spinach and artichoke dip, but sub greek yogurt for the sour cream. Delish and healthy!

They have those little phylo cups...2 are about 25 calories. The are endless possibilities for those!

lowfat cream cheese (16 oz, 1 pkt of chili seasoning, 2 tablespoons of salsa - mix together and form a cheese ball. optional to roll ball in shredded cheese and nuts - this goes over big in my family and I serve with a variety of crackers as not everyone eats the boring plain ones that i do.

Tomato/Basil skewers (think caprese salad on a toothpick) or deviled eggs....lots of great options!!! Even a fruit tray or meat tray - just don't add a lot of cheeses to the meat tray. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always find something yummy on these sites:

Not all are "healthy" but easily lend themselves to healthier substitutions.
Enjoy your party!

I make my own chicken fingers. Take chicken breast, slice it about 1/4 inch thick in strips, coat with your favorite seasonings and bake till done. Can use ranch, or other dips as wanted.

small rounds of beetroot use a cookie cutter to make them even or interesting shapes topped with smoked fish pate made from low fat philidelphia and smoked fish and lemon and herbs. Dips made with yoghurt and served with vege batons and breadsticks for those that want them. Fresh figs topped with a little goats cheese. Shots of vege soup. Lots of options

Some off the top of my head are: goat cheese stuffed piquillo peppers, proscuitto wrapped apples or melon (hell, I'd proscuitto wrap my FINGER and eat it) or any number of deviled eggs (curry, chipotle, shrimp & dill, pesto). These are all easy prep and can sit out for a few hours on your holiday table.
