Low-fat Appetizers Needed

Something not so messy.

I was thinking maybe a crab dip, or a cheese dip, or some sort of ball. I don't know.

You could easily do a low-fat, low-cal Spinach and Artichoke dip. Bethenny Frankel has a version of it:


Guilt free Spinach Artichoke Dip

Fried goat cheese appetizer recipe


Roasted red bell pepper coulis, the hard part


Two onions diced
Four toes garlic minced
Saute til tender
Add one or two cups of dry red wine of choice
Simmer for twenty or so
One large jar of pre-roasted bell peppers(the quick approach)
Simmer for ten more, puree mixture.

Croutons

Slice loaf of French bread, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, bake until slightly brown on top
Two goat chees logs, sliced 1/4 inches thick, then patted out a bit flatter, dredge in egg wash and seasoned bread crumbs twice, into saute pan about one minute per side, they will be a very light brown.

Spread goat cheese on bread, top with coulis.

I've chosen Chardonnay, because it's what everyone thinks they are supposed to enjoy.

Be different and grab a bottle of Pouilly Fume as well or something fun like a Gruner Veltliner.

ETA: Baked Brie is delicious and always a hit.

If you don't want to prepare it yourself, Whole Foods has a variety.. Roasted red bell pepper hummus, Cilantro Hummus, Plain, Garlic and Parsley.. or eggplant dip.. also Salsa is low fat, serve with chips, whole wheat pita and an olive tray

I'd stay away from veggie trays.. unless you want your guests gassy..
