Low cal appetiser ideas

We're hosting dinner for a few friends this weekend, and while I have no problem creating a reasonably healthy low calorie main course, I'm stuck for ideas for appetizer/starter.
Does anyone have any low calorie starters they can recommend?
I know we could throw caution to the wind for a one off dinner, but at least 3 of the guests are watching what they eat at the moment somI don't want to be responsible for anyone falling off the wagon!

Are you talking about a sit down appetizer, or hors d'oeuvres?0

Sit down first course.0

Can't go wrong with a fall vegetable salad or a non-cream based soup, like butternut squash soup.0

My friend and I visit each other often, and put carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, etc out to munch on before dinner. We like hummus, but I used to use balsamic vinegar as a "dip", which is zero calorie. Shrimp rings are great as well!
If you mean at the table, as part of the meal, then I would encourage edamame, or maybe stuffed peppers (careful on what you use to stuff them!)0 -
Take endive leaves, swipe a dollup of cocktail sauce on the inside and top with bay shrimp or fresh crab. Sprinkle a little lemon on top.
Or cantelope and proscuitto salad. Not as healhy but still on the lighter side.0 -

This is a soup that I had as an appetizer at a local Italian restaurant. Delicious!

Shrimp. Very low calorie and high protein, can be cooked a million ways to make it delicious and healthy.0
