Goat Cheese Mushrooms: Take some large mushrooms (remove stem) and fill each cap with a combination of crumbled goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped), chopped walnuts, and fresh mint (minced). Top each filled mushroom with a little grated lemon zest.
Tomato Roasted Corn Pita Dipper: Combine in a bowl, 2 medium tomatoes (diced), 2 celery stalks (diced), one-half cup sunflower kernels, one-half cup roasted corn kernels (these are available in the frozen food section – just thaw and drain prior to using), 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped), 1 cup low-fat sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve in small bowls with warm pita bread cut into bite-size pieces for dipping.
Sweet and Spicy Tuna Lettuce Wraps: Using Bibb lettuce leaves, place some tuna (canned in water and drained) along the center of a leaf. Then place some chopped jalapeno pepper on top of the tuna, some chopped mango, a couple of strips of green bell peppers, and a spoonful of sour cream. If desired, sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on top of the sour cream for a little more heat. Fold in the sides of each lettuce leaf and secure the lettuce wraps with a toothpick. Chill until ready to serve.
Roast Beef Asparagus Appetizers: Take deli roast beef slices and spread with a combination of prepared horseradish and sour cream. Then place a couple of white asparagus spears (canned and drained) on top of the horseradish mixture near the edge of the roast beef slice along with a few baby spinach leaves. Roll roast beef slice up tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
