Summer is the time for picnics, outdoor BBQs and pool parties. Of course this also means it’s the time for summertime cooking. Over on RecipeLion, we have a number of great summer grilling and dessert recipes. But when you’re entertaining, sometimes you just want to throw together a platter of passable appetizers and get out of the kitchen. So we have collected some of our favorite summer party appetizer recipes; these recipes are quick and easy to throw together for company, or great any time you need to munch.
Baked Stuffed Mushrooms – This recipe is a guaranteed crowd pleaser and will be a favorite of all mushroom lovers. The cheese and spinach stuffing is held together in a tasty mushroom cap cup. A delightful appetizer choice.
Chevre Toasts – Goat cheese is creamy and mild-flavored when a few weeks old, it becomes crumbly and sharper tasting as it matures. Try making these toasts with a younger cheese and sprinkle them with fresh herbs and edible flowers. This is a great passable appetizer.
Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes – A great no-cook summer appetizer treat. This light tuna salad takes these cherry tomatoes to another level. These are a great appetizer for a dinner group or even as a quick summertime lunch with the ladies. Everyone will love this low-fat, low-sodium recipe.
Another good idea are round crackers with a little caprese salad on top. I like to layer a slice of mozzarella, a circle of tomato and piece of basil. It’s cruncy, sweet, and creamy all in one bite.
Crab is really the perfect summer appetizer. Indulgent enough that people love it, and so easy to work with. I recently did a Crab Dip with Grilled Braided Breadsticks that was pretty yummy if you’d like to check it out.
