Super Easy Tomato and Cheese Appetizer with Garlic
Sliced tomatoes perfectly topped with a cheesy garlic spread. A wonderfully simple, yet elegant fresh summer appetizer.

Appetizers can be a little tricky. Our minds almost always skip all the aisles and go straight to the fried section. Think chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, etc. Don’t get me wrong.
Those are all delicious but sometimes you need a refreshing, light appetizer. Where grabbing seconds or thirds isn’t so dangerous. Where you’re still looking forward to the entree because greasy, fatty appetizers didn’t give you a crash.
