Crositini

10 Minute Appetizers

As Near Year’s Eve nears, the word is hors-d’oeuvres. We’re all about fun right now–anything more than appetizers might just be too much of a commitment. As soon as the ball drops on January first, we’re all about salads and smoothies and healthy dinners every night of the week, but for the moment, we have our sights set on snacks and small, scrumptious bites, platters of food that can be eaten with our fingers, sparkly drinks and quickly-assembled, show-stopping appetizers. Crunchy, olive-oil drizzled crostini can be put together in minutes. Start with something creamy and add a pop of flavor: smoky salmon, peppery radishes, bright and tart citrus. You’ll have plenty of energy left for dancing the night away!
