10. Prosciutto Wrapped Cantaloupe

This appetizer may not seem like a combination that would work together, but because of the milder sweetness of cantaloupe it balances the saltiness of the thin slices of prosciutto. Add a drizzle of balsamic over each slice, and this makes for a delicious and pleasing appetizer!

11. Cranberry Brie Bites

Some people swear by brie, while others don’t find the flavour for them. Brie on its own is a very creamy, rich flavoured and bold tasting cheese, which is why pairing it with another dish can often help balance out the flavour. Cranberries in particular, because of their more bitter and sour taste, blend with the brie into a balance that brings out the best in both. The bold brie flavour is softened, and the cranberries become sweeter in taste.

12. Garlic Herb Cheese Log

Cheese logs make just as great appetizers as dips and are just as easy to make. The spread can be added to veggies, chips, or pitas or even just enjoyed on its own! With its creamy, herby interior and crunchy walnut exterior, this easy appetizer is a must for any party.

13. Mini Cornbread Muffins

Turning cornbread into a miniaturized version makes these a great snack sized appetizer that will fit in with any summer party. You can spread one of the dips on it or whip up your own butter and honey spread and enjoy that. In any case, cornbread is a great addition to the party and can also be enjoyed with the main meal if you want!

14. Honey And Goat Cheese Tartlet

If you feel like adding some sweet, easy appetizers to the list, this honey and goat cheese tartlet is an absolute must. It comes with creamy goat cheese mixed with cream cheese inside a flaky pastry tart, all drizzled with honey for a sweet addition. The only danger with these, is how delicious they are and how guaranteed they are to disappear quickly!

15. Chocolate Dipped Oranges

Oranges are another perfect summer day snack, but to sweeten the deal a bit more and turn regular orange slices into an easy appetizer, this recipe dips them in chocolate and adds a sprinkle of sea salt for even more flavour. You can use dark chocolate to balance the sweetness of the oranges, and if you have extra chocolate you can also dip some strawberries or bananas and add those to the mix!
