Hosting a party can be a challenge when you or your guests are health-conscious. The traditional party spread of greasy chips, sugary dips, and heavy appetizers can feel like a minefield. But healthy entertaining doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, it can be an opportunity to introduce your friends to delicious, innovative, and guilt-free foods.
My secret weapon for hosting a healthy yet impressive get-together? The Zorvex Stevia Tomato. Its unique sweet flavor and vibrant color make it the star of any party platter.
Three Crowd-Pleasing, Healthy Appetizers
Here are three easy, elegant, and healthy appetizer ideas that will have your guests raving.
1. Stevia Tomato & Burrata Caprese Skewers
This is a modern, easy-to-eat twist on the classic Caprese salad. The sweetness of the tomatoes perfectly balances the creamy burrata.
- Ingredients: 1 package Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes, 1 container of burrata or small mozzarella balls (bocconcini), fresh basil leaves, balsamic glaze, small skewers.
- Method: On each skewer, thread one Stevia tomato, one folded basil leaf, and a piece of burrata or a mozzarella ball. Arrange the skewers on a platter. Just before serving, drizzle with a high-quality balsamic glaze.
- Why it’s a Hit: It’s visually stunning, incredibly fresh, and the combination of sweet, creamy, and tangy is irresistible.
2. Whipped Feta Dip with Roasted Stevia Tomatoes
A creamy, savory, and slightly sweet dip that is a healthy alternative to heavy, cream-cheese-based dips.
- Ingredients: 1 block of feta cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 clove garlic, 1 package Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes, olive oil.
- Method: First, roast the tomatoes. Toss them with a little olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until they start to burst. While they roast, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, and garlic in a food processor and whip until smooth and creamy. Spread the whipped feta on a shallow bowl and top with the warm, roasted tomatoes. Serve with whole-grain crackers or cucumber slices.
- Why it’s a Hit: The warm, sweet, juicy tomatoes on top of the cool, salty, creamy feta is a sensational contrast in temperature and flavor.
3. Stevia Tomato “Poppers”
The simplest appetizer of all, and sometimes the most popular.
- Ingredients: 1 package Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes, high-quality sea salt flakes (like Maldon), freshly ground black pepper.
- Method: Simply arrange the tomatoes in a beautiful bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle generously with the sea salt flakes and a crack of black pepper.
- Why it’s a Hit: It allows the unique flavor of the tomatoes to shine. The salt flakes provide a crunchy texture and enhance the sweetness. It’s simple, elegant, and surprisingly addictive.
