Vegetarian Nibbles are colorful, bite-sized snacks and appetizers made with fresh vegetables, cheeses, dips, and herbs. Perfect for parties or light meals, they’re easy to prepare, endlessly customizable, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup mozzarella balls or 1 cup cubed feta
  • 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
  • 6–8 mini bell peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 1/2 cup hummus or herbed cream cheese
  • 1 cup assorted crackers or crostini
  • 1/2 cup olives (green or Kalamata)
  • 1 cup baby carrots or snap peas
  • 1/2 cup roasted almonds or cashews
  • Fresh herbs (basil, dill, parsley), for garnish
  • Balsamic glaze or olive oil, for optional drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare all vegetables: halve cherry tomatoes, slice cucumber, and deseed mini bell peppers.
  2. Spoon hummus or herbed cream cheese onto cucumber slices or crackers, and top with olives or herbs.
  3. Assemble mini skewers with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil for Caprese-style bites.
  4. Stuff mini bell peppers with soft cheese or dip for colorful nibbles.
  5. Arrange all components on a serving platter, mixing colors, textures, and flavors.
  6. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Prep veggies and cheese ahead but assemble just before serving to retain freshness.
  • Add marinated tofu or falafel for more protein.
  • Include a variety of dips for a dynamic platter.
  • Use gluten-free bases like cucumber slices or GF crackers for dietary needs.
  • Add fresh fruit like grapes or figs for a sweet contrast.
