Appetizers

Can a party really start without an appetizer? Sometimes I make an appetizer for dinner. There are so many great ways to start a meal and here are just a few. I am adding new recipes all the time. Keep coming back to find new appetizers to add to your menu.

Mexican Street Corn Dip has a base of sautéed onions cooked with raw corn kernels and a little garlic. Once the corn is cooked through, you add cream cheese and sour cream. This is the base of a delicious dip that is topped with a butter spice mixture and then drizzled with a lime mayonnaise. Top everything off with cotija cheese and roasted corn kernels.

Watermelon Fries are all the rage online these days. They are simply a new way to cut watermelon. If these fries are new, then for sure we need some fry sauce.

Watermelon Mango Salsa is a fresh and light alternative to a tomato salsa. It is made with the regular salsa ingredients like onions, jalapeño and lime juice. There are a few new flavors like watermelon and basil. It is great on salmon, chicken or with chips.

Watermelon Strawberry Salsa is just like tomato salsa, but so sweet and fresh. It has the normal red onion and jalapeño in it, but the strawberries and watermelon have an added boost with basil, mint and lime juice with just a touch of honey to balance it all out.
