Top Appetizers
It could be a typical Saturday or a party or get-together, appetizer and snacks are a must. I’ve compiled a list of my top dips, nibbles, hors devours, finger foods, and munchies to make for devouring whenever needed.
I’m a huge snacker, I could make a meal out of appetizers. And don’t get me started on how you stop eating chips and salsa… I love them!
I like quick and easy, but it most definitely has to be delicious.
And if you only have 1 minute to get anything ready don’t forget my old stand by… Bread and Butter… nothing wrong with keeping it super simple.
I often find my kitchen full of visitors and need to whip up something quick. I have plenty of options. Whether you have the items on hand, can improvise and swap out an item if needed, or are lucky to have a store nearby to run and grab a few items.
These appetizers are great!
- Crab Rangoon Dip couldn’t be easier, tastes like takeout
- Pizza Dip easily turns into a weekly favorite!
- Beer Cheese Dip updated crudité
- Salsa Verde my personal fav
- Caprese Appetizer with balsamic dip is great for gatherings, holidays, and the 4th of July!
- Fried Ravioli is amazing with minimal effort, winner!
and be sure to check out my fried tortellini with a delicious wine and cheese dip
I included multiple salsa recipes, and if you want more than chips to dip, make quesadillas or mini tacos even mini cheese tacos are super fun. Try these taco cones, they’re super fun!
- Texas Eggrolls- cheesy and full of flavor these are a true winner.
- Pico de Gallo WOW this is so great, perfect for chips, tacos and to top all your Mexican favorites.
- Roast Beef Stackers- a modern canape’ with no cooking or baking, and the horseradish dip is amazing
- Pork Wontons – the perfect little bites
- Restaurant Salsa- the perfect salsa anytime, reminds everyone of great Mexican Restaurant Salsa
- Crab dip… OMG, I’ve made this recipe long before I was even married. I’d bring it everywhere. I remember searching for a fun fish mold, so everyone will know it has fish/seafood in it. I loved how it looked and the flavor is beyond amazing. I love it when there are leftovers to slather on thick crusty bread for a quick sandwich the next day!
It’s no secret I love chips and salsa and if you want a cheesy option try this Jalapeno Cheese Dip
I have a newer recipe I’m LOVING, it’s this Fig Jam Dip
And give these Candied Walnuts a try, they’re great on their own, or put them on your charcuterie board, they make a perfect addition.
Toffee is a great sweet treat full of buttery toffee, nuts, and chocolate.
And maybe you’ll need a drink to go with the appetizers…
- Strawberry Mimosas- oh these are so fun and pretty too!
- Apple Sangria- the perfect drink anytime
- Cranberry Margaritas -can be made year-round and are a crowd favorite
- Kentucky Dirty– a fun peachy bourbon drink with iced tea
- Cinnamon Apple Hard Cider fun flavors
- Homemade Eggnog spike it or not, it’s delicious
