I love having friends over for New Year’s Eve! Here are five great
appetizer ideas that will make for a great party, but also ensure that
you’re not stuck in the kitchen the whole time cooking!
Chipotle Guacamole
If you know me, you know I am OBSESSED with guacamole. I don’t think
it’s possible for me to entertain without some form of avocado and NYE
calls for guacamole with salty chips, right?! I think so. You can either
make this right before your guests come over, or you can make it a few
hours before. If you make it earlier, make sure to use a decent amount
of acid, in the form of lime juice and once you’re done mashing up the
guacamole, lay a piece of plastic wrap over the top so no air touches
the avocado. This way you’ll ensure having a bright green dip when it’s
time to serve.
Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a must! They are almost too easy and you can
spice them up with whatever spices you have on hand. Throw them into the
oven the morning of your party and bake them off! Then just re-heat
them in the oven for a few minutes before your guests arrive and serve!
Kopanisti (Whipped Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Dip)
This roasted red pepper feta dip is salty and 100% addictive. It’s
usually the first to go, especially when you serve it with some
delicious pita chips or a crudité platter. I love this appetizer because
once again, you can make it the day before the party and serve it when
you’re ready. Easy and simple! Plus who doesn’t love making something
that requires no prep work and just a simple press of a button on a food
processor!?
Spinach Artichoke Cups
I don’t know about you, but it’s never a party at my house without
some spinach artichoke dip. But sometimes the bowl can get messy and
then it’s not very visually appealing. Never fear, I’ve solved the messy
bowl problem. These spinach artichoke dip cups are cute and your guests
will love them!
Cheeses
Does it get any easier than a cheese platter? I love going to my
market and talking to the cheesemonger about what they recommend to
create a great cheese platter, and working from that. Pair the cheeses
with some simple crackers and great wines with a few bunches of grapes
or dried figs and call it a day!
