Appetizer Recipes

If you are looking for easy appetizers for a big party or small, I've got a fabulous variety right here! With everything from our favorite creamy cheesy dips (like my favorite Hatch Chile Corn Dip) to Persian favorites like Kashke Bademjan (Persian Eggplant Dip). You’ll find something for any occasion here!

You are sure to find something delicious to please your crew. Many can be served as small bites to feed a hungry crowd or a light appetizer to snack on before dinner.

My favorite appetizer on the list? This unique and creamy Avocado Tomatillo Roll.
