What does healthy mean when it comes to appetizers? We’re cookbook authors and experts in the Mediterranean diet style of eating and living, a diet that’s been called one of the healthiest in the world. To us, healthy appetizers fit into this style of eating. Here, we’ve put together the best healthy appetizer recipes that get the most rave reviews when they make them for parties. We’ve been eating this way for over a decade and can confirm: we’ve never felt better! Here’s how the Mayo Clinic defines the Mediterranean diet:
Whole grains like oats, quinoa, barley, and so forth. Prioritize whole wheat or whole grain bread. Fruits and vegetables Nuts and seeds Yogurt in moderation Milk and natural or light cheeses in moderation, like cottage cheese, ricotta and goat cheese (per the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic) Eggs in moderation (1 egg per day) Olive oil (instead of butter) Fish and some poultry Limited red meat and added sugars
