    Home / Recipes / Holiday / 17 Healthy Holiday Appetizers

    This collection of healthy holiday appetizers will wow your guests while keeping things light! From finger foods to dips and more.

    One of my favorite things about the holidays is the abundance of appetizers! From chicken wings to roasted chickpeas, sometimes we just make a meal out of appetizers and call it dinner.
