Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
How many appetizers should I plan per person for a party?
Plan for 4-6 pieces per person per hour for a cocktail party, or 2-3 pieces if served before a meal. Include a mix of lighter options like vegetable-based bites and more substantial protein-rich choices.
What are some healthy alternatives to traditional party appetizers?
Try veggie-based options like zucchini rolls, cauliflower bites, or stuffed mushrooms. Replace traditional dips with hummus or Greek yogurt-based spreads, and use lettuce wraps instead of crackers or bread.
How far in advance can I prepare healthy appetizers?
Many healthy appetizers can be prepared 24-48 hours in advance. Focus on fresh ingredients and store components separately. Assemble delicate items like fresh vegetables or fruits closer to serving time to maintain freshness.
