Take these vegetable-based appetizers rainbow carrots with tahini sauce, which are usually gone within minutes. It’s so important for kids (and adults) to get their daily dose of vitamins, so this is the most nutritious side dish you’ll ever have. Plus, they’re almost too easy to make. 

Want a heartier appetizer? Try these paleo salmon cakes which are delicious, period. They’re fresh and go so well with my avocado aioli for a healthy appetizer. My recipe for this side dish uses paleo-friendly and gluten-free ingredients, including a safe choice of wild salmon. I’m so obsessed with these and I can’t stop making them! 

You’ll also find recipes for sweet, one-bite appetizers. These figs are baked with maple and cinnamon so you get a kick of spice together with a tinge of natural sweetness. Figs are vitamin-packed too: so wholesome! If you’re bringing these to a party, pack extras. People are going to ask for more!
