Beauty Eats- Duo of tapas-style appetizers
My friend Connie from “The Beauty Nerd” and I started a new series called “Beauty Eats” a few months ago. This week we have a duo of tapas-style appetizers. If you missed the earlier posts, you can find them here.
I’ve been thinking of cooking a tapas-style appetizer for quite some time, but never got around to it. Thanks to some inspiration from Connie, this week we have a duo of healthy appetizers that are perfect for a relaxed dinner party or a lunch on one of those “meatless” weekdays. The first appetizer is a gorgeous green pea soup served with cayenne-garlic oil to kick it up a notch. The second appetizer is a beet dish with a creamy goat cheese and thyme dressing. Going veggie doesn’t have to be boring now, does it? These appetizers let the true flavours of the vegetables shine through – without all the extra fat and salt. Enjoy!
Deviled eggs with cream cheese and thyme..
Ever wanted to make deviled eggs, but thought they were a little passé? This is a no-mayo recipe for deviled eggs that are light and airy, just like spring!
Deviled eggs are traditionally made with mayo, mustard powder and eggs. This healthy spin on deviled eggs contains horseradish mustard for a nice kick, light cream cheese, yogurt and thyme. It’s a great appetizer for a pot luck or a casual Sunday lunch because it doesn’t take long to make, but it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser.
