Summer has officially started! Are you as excited as I am?
That means that we get more sunshine, warm weather, and…BARBECUES! Summer is definitely barbecue season so I thought a good idea would be to share some suggestions for you to spice up your usual barbecue menu. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. But maybe you’re in the mood to try some different things this year. So here’s a list of 6 great appetizer options for you to explore. Enjoy!
1. Watermelon and brie
Such a creative combination that will add the freshness of the watermelon with the richness of the brie. Yum!
2. Greek salad on a stick
How simple, yet genius, is it turning a popular salad into a skewer? The skewer format guarantees guests will get a bite of each ingredient, plus it’s a finger food which means no serve ware needed. Perfection!
3. Caprese salad skewers
The Caprese salad is another very popular dish that can please even the hardest guest. Again, turn it into a skewer and you got an easy finger food appetizer that is not heavy, carries the freshness of summer with all of the flavor an Italian recipe has.
4. Shrimp and pineapple skewers
Who said barbecues can’t have seafood? Shrimp and pineapple is such a rich and surprising combination that it is sure to wow your guests.
5. Cucumber and feta rolls
If you want to go with something super light so guests can save their hunger for the main course, these rolls are the perfect choice. Easy to do, pretty and as fresh as summer!
6. Grilled Zucchini Potato Rolls with Goat Cheese
This recipe can be used as an appetizer but also as an alternative dish for the vegetarians among your guests. It is always a good idea to have veggie options when you entertain.
So tell us, which one is your favorite?
