One healthy option is homemade salsa. Create a chunky concoction with peaches, mangoes, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. It is very colorful and you can serve it in a bowl for a snack with chips or toasted tortillas. If you need an appetizer, fill your platter with a layer of chips and add a spoonful of salsa on each one. This is an easy appetizer that everyone will love.

If you have some practice in the kitchen you can make up some California rolls. Crab is a delicious treat anytime. The dried seaweed used to roll up the sushi is called nori. You can find some at your local Asian market. This is a variety of sushi that everyone can enjoy. Make some for a snack or even for your lunch. If you need something to bring to a party, slice up the roll and arrange it on a platter so everyone can be amazed at your abilities.

Bruschetta is another wonderful option. Toast some slices of French or Italian bread. Top it off with fresh chopped tomatoes, herbs and perhaps a little cheese. Enjoy it with a beverage for a delicious snack. You can also make them as appetizers that will be enjoyed at any party, large or small. Make up a healthy pizza recipe for your meal or a snack. For appetizers, just cut it up in bite size pieces. This is a great fast dish when you’re on the go.

If salad is your thing, this one is great. Make your favorite green salad with all the goodies. Chop up all the ingredients so they are small. Toss them with your favorite dressing. Dig right in for a delicious, fast snack or meal. For some fun and healthy appetizers, drop a spoonful or two of salad into a lettuce leaf and wrap it up. Fasten it with a fancy toothpick and your salad rolls are ready to go.

Finger foods are a lot of fun. For a quick snack, combine some olives, cheese slices and some cherry tomatoes on a plate. They are all fun to pop in your mouth as you relax, read or play on the computer. For a fast appetizer, pop them onto skewers. One skewer can hold one of each food. These are great fun, and who doesn’t like food on a stick? This is a great portable appetizer.
