Looking for some easy party food that is quick to prepare and healthy too? Here are some simple and flavorful summer appetizer recipes that come together very quickly. Each one is made with just a few simple, wholesome ingredients and can be made with very little preparation, allowing you to enjoy every moment of your celebration.
Grilled Chicken Kabobs: Using store-bought grilled chicken (boneless breasts work well for this recipe), cut chicken into cubes and skewer on small wooden skewers along with jarred pearl onions, marinated mushrooms, chunks of red bell pepper, and pineapple chunks. Serve skewers along with small bowls of barbecue sauce for dipping.
Chilled Tomato Soup: Place the following in a food processor or blender and process to desired consistency: 4 medium tomatoes (cut into chunks), several fresh cilantro leaves (chopped), 1 cup of vegetable broth (or as needed to allow processor or blender to move freely), a clove of garlic, a teaspoon of capers, a drizzle of olive oil, a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve soup chilled in bowls and top with chopped cilantro, diced cucumber, and grated Parmesan cheese. This recipe makes approximately two to four servings. Double the ingredients to make more servings. Chill until ready to serve.
Cranberry Toasts: In a mixing bowl combine plain whipped cream cheese with dried sweetened cranberries (roughly chopped), chopped walnuts, and some grated lime zest. Thinly slice some French bread and toast until lightly browned. Spread the cranberry mixture on each bread slice and serve.
Veggie Quesadilla Appetizers: Take one 7-inch soft tortilla shell and sprinkle half of the shell with grated cheddar cheese. Then top the cheese with diced, jarred roasted red peppers, diced celery, chopped pimiento stuffed olives, some chopped onion, and little more grated cheese. Fold tortilla in half. Lightly spray a skillet with oil and over medium heat brown tortilla lightly on both sides. Cut tortilla in half and serve this summer appetizer as is or with a little bowl of sour cream for dipping.
