Easy Holiday Appetizers for Thanksgiving

The best easy holiday appetizers have two things in common: they’re actually easy and delicious.  If you’re already roasting a turkey, juggling side dishes, and trying to remember whether anyone is allergic to pecans, you do not need an appetizer that requires 14 ingredients and a piping bag.  Better Than Yours salsa makes it easy to put something delicious on the table without creating another culinary project.

Start With the Obvious: Salsa and Chips

Sometimes the easiest answer is also the best one.  Grab a jar of Better Than Yours salsa, pour it into a bowl, add your favorite tortilla chips, and you’re done.  Also easy to outsource to eager helpers.

Want to make it look fancy?  Put it on a serving board with cheese, crackers, veggies, nuts, and cured meats.  Congratulations.  You made a snack board.  And you didn’t even need Pinterest.

Easy Holiday Appetizers Everyone Can Grab

When you’re planning Thanksgiving appetizers, think snackable, shareable, and not so heavy that everyone ruins their appetite before dinner.

Try mini cheese quesadillas cut into wedges with salsa for dipping, or spread cream cheese onto a serving plate and spoon salsa over the top for an ridiculously easy dip that people will ask you for the recipe for.  Yes, seriously.  You can also throw together a tray of nachos with cheese, jalapeños, and your favorite toppings.  Traditional for Thanksgiving?  Maybe not.  A crowd pleaser?  Absolutely.

These easy holiday appetizers are especially good for the crowd watching football while you’re busy pretending everything in the kitchen is completely under control.

Easy Entertaining, Less Time in the Kitchen

The secret to easy entertaining isn’t becoming a better cook.  It’s choosing foods that don’t require you to spend the entire party cooking.

Keep a few jars of Better Than Yours salsa on hand, and you always have the beginning of an appetizer, snack board, dip, or last-minute party spread.  Mild, Hot, or Extra Hot means you can even give your guests options without doing any extra work.

You have enough to cook and prep this holiday season.  Opt for an easy holiday appetizer and check one thing off your list.  Done and Done.
