Looking for something lighter to serve at your next party or holiday dinner? Try adding an appetizer made with vegetables! Fresh produce adds bright color and fresh flavor without weighing guests down before the main course arrives.

Choose fresh, in-season produce. This not only offers optimal flavor but adds a seasonal touch to your party menu. Cherry tomatoes are perfect for summer, while squash and sweet potatoes are great during fall and winter.
