Appetizers for Holiday Hosting
The holidays are here, and in full swing. Hosting during the holidays can be so fun but also so stressful. Deciding what to serve can play a big part in that stress! Try some of these red and green-themed appetizer ideas at your next party and tag us in pictures of your holiday party spread.
Pinwheels made with green tortillas (also cream cheese, dried cranberries, feta, green onions)
Balsamic mozzarella tomato basil skewers
Red and green veg tray (red peppers, cucumber, snap peas, grape tomatoes, broccoli, etc.) with a dip
Christmas trail mix
Hummus wreath (shape the hummus into a wreath, add chopped parsley for the green leaves, and grape tomatoes to look like Christmas ornaments)
Guacamole wreath (again shape into a wreath, but this time add grape tomatoes and cilantro to make mistletoe!)
Charcuterie board
A charcuterie board is one of my personal favorite appetizers to make because it takes minimal prep, can feed a crowd, and it’s so pretty! You can also pack in a lot of nutritional variety, tons of different flavors and textures, and create an appetizer that will be sure to satisfy your stomach and your taste buds.
