Very often when I’m planning a meal, I’ll spend a lot of time and effort creating the main dish, leaving the appetizers and side dishes as an afterthought. In fact during this season, I often find myself running to our local market for frozen or ready-prepared appetizers/side dishes simply due to time constraints.

In an effort to create healthier appetizers and side dishes, I will be featuring several holiday recipes that can easily be prepared to compliment a main dish.

Tuna Crostini

I love breads, and one of my favorite appetizers is a flavorful crostini. Inspired by the Italian appetizer, I decided to create a Tuna Crostini featuring capers, sun dried tomatoes, and roasted red bell peppers. You can easily prepare several varieties of Crostini with meats and cheeses to tide guests over until the main dish is served.

  • 2 teaspoons of capers
  • Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil blended into a paste with olives or capers
  • Roasted Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 loaf of French Bread sliced diagonally
Instructions
