Let's be completely real for a sec. It's summer and we want have our food and and eat it too! You know, like cake. A healthy, filling snack that doesn't compromise on flavor is one heavenly bite. The thing that I love most about this appetizer is how utterly guilt free it is, but, oh my, is it satisfying!
Snacking is my downfall. I love a hearty meal, but, snacks [ or appetizers ] get me every time. The challenge with snacking is finding healthful options that truly satisfy, not just flavor-wise, but, satisfy your hunger too. One of my favorite healthful snacks are TRISCUITS. You can top them with the classics [ cheese or peanut butter ] or you can top them with artisan toppings like prosciutto, mozzarella, pear, and dried sweet basil!
That is exactly what I have done! I am pushing the snacketiser [ look at me making up words! ] to a new level, by pairing hearty toppings with rich TRISCUIT flavors like Mediterranean Olive, in a crostini style bite!
I stopped by Walmart and grabbed the TRISCUIT Mediterranean Style Olive and TRISCUIT Original crackers, along, with everything else needed for this delicious appetizer! You can put this appetizer together in a matter of minutes, and the flavors are completely customizable. By the way - have you tried the Smoked Gouda TRISCUITS? So, so good! Grab the flavor the appeals to you and top with any number of delectable combos. Here's to snacking happy and healthy!
