No-Cook Appetizers for Summer Entertaining
By: Leah Rodrigues
Published: June 2, 2014

The goal in the summertime is to be in the kitchen as little as possible.  The last thing you want to do is turn on the oven or be perched over a hot stove.  To keep your kitchen time to a minimum, opt for no-cook appetizers when entertaining.  This means sticking with dips that can be made in a food processor like hummus or fresh cheeses that can be cut and served.  I also like to serve individual salad cups as a refreshing first bite.  Summer entertaining can be fun and stress-free with these easy appetizer recipes.
