When entertaining, it is easy to have healthy choices for your hors d’oeuvre table. Don’t feel like you have to have the usual meat and cheese standards to satisfy your guests. Below are some recipes we found over on AARP.org that are healthy as well as delicious. Many of them are vegetarian too.
Creamy Butternut Squash and Apple Soup by Nava Atlas: This healthy autumn soup is perfect to serve friends at a small, cozy dinner party. Ginger and nutmeg give it that special seasonal kick.
Red Lentil Soup With Chicken by Mimi Sheraton: Serve this recipe as a first-course soup — its smooth texture and Moroccan flavor, coming from ingredients like chili pepper and saffron, are sure to make it a hit.
Quick Southwestern Bean Dip by Bonnie Tandy Leblang and Joanne Lamb Hayes: This dairy-free, low-fat dip has the hearty texture of black beans and chopped veggies.
Mushroom Shui-Mai by Crescent Dragonwagon: These delicate purses are filled with a mixture of mushrooms, seitan, vegetables and Japanese flavors like rice wine and sesame oil. Steaming them, rather than frying, means that two dumplings contain 63 calories and just 1 gram of fat.
Japanese Shrimp and Cucumber Salad by James Peterson: Pickled cucumbers provide a surprising and fitting counterpoint to cocktail shrimp in this recipe, which serves up just 30 calories per serving.
