What's an easy appetizer to bring to a family BBQ? Nachos/veggies and dip are usually covered and i don't really feel like bringing a salad. Any Suggestions?
-
Fruit! Cut up some melon: watermelon, cantelope, honeydew. Put it on a platter. Done!
-
Bacon wrapped dates are always a hit.
-
I ususally make guacamole!
-
You could do Caprese bites: cherry tomatoes, mozzerella cheese cubes and basil on toothpicks with a drizzle of basalmic and olive oil and some salt.
I like to take crescent rolls and keep them in a sheet, spread veggie cream cheese on them and top with shredded cheddar & bacon bits. Roll up and slice and then bake. -
What about tortilla rollups, fruit salsa with cinnamon sugar chips, fruit platter, little smokies, or fruit pizza (can you tell I'm craving fruit right now haha)
-
@jessiejo17: What is a little smoky?
-
I was goingn ot suggest similar to @Volksgirl64: with the caprese bites. Or antipasta skewers - thread cheese tortolini, olives, cherry tomatoes, pepperoni, and hard salami on skewers. Cover with Italian or Greek salad dressing. Super yummy!
-
Thanks ladies! Great suggestions!
-
@Lozza: a little hot dog/weinie...we call them smokies/smokey around here
Put them with BBQ sauce.
-
@WALLAROO: Those are so good. I always stick a little square gorgonzola inside and pop the bacon wrapped dates in the oven until the cheese is melted...so yummy!
-
a bar of cream cheese with some raspberry chipotle jelly poured on top, and crackers!
-
@sloaneandpuffy: I do this with sweet pepper jelly, so good!
-
What about mini sandwich pinwheels or egg rolls you can purchase at Sam's or Costco?
-
Caprese bites!

I love to make my tail-gating jalapenos for bigger gatherings- easy and everyone loves them.
I halve whatever number of jalapenos I feel like using (usually 25) and deseed them. I make the filling (which is cream cheese and dry feta crumbles mixed together) and fill each of the halves with the filling. Then I wrap each one in a half strip of bacon and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
YUMMO!

Thanks ladies! These all sound so yummy. I'm going to give DH a list to choose from :).

Buffalo chicken dip is so good!
