New Year’s Eve is rapidly approaching and we want to help you ring in the new year in a healthy and delicious way! Reinvent your NYE appetizers to include kale, which is now in season. Kale will provide a nutritious boost to your appetizers and help you eat healthy in the new year.
Try a few of these delicious and simple recipes to serve for New Year’s Eve at home or reinvent your current recipes to incorporate kale for a true farm to table experience with little effort but lots of super dense food nutrition!
Try making a quick kale & spinach yogurt dip by combining Greek yogurt with sautéed chopped shallots, homegrown garlic and kale with salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. Serve this dip warm or at room temperature with fresh or grilled veggies for a tasty and guilt free appetizer. Prepare a quick tomato bruschetta by combining chopped farm fresh tomatoes with diced red
onions, fresh torn basil and a bit of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Serve this tomato bruschetta on toasted baguette rounds to enjoy a fresh, low fat appetizer. Or you may easily stop into our farm store and pick up our fresh made garbanzo or black bean hummus or one of our fresh cucumber salsa, guacamole or Pico de Gallo dips for a healthful alternative to meat or cheese platters. Serve the fresh dips with veggies or crackers for a crowd pleasing favorite. It’s easy to transform your holiday table into a farm to fork menu with a little thought and know how.
For a truly engaging experience you can offer a make your own crostini bar by preparing all the fresh ingredients ahead of time so that your family can just have fun creating their own crostini appetizer. We like this easy and seasonal Winter Squash and Crostini recipe which features our own winter squash, garlic, fresh herbs and our honey along with fresh ricotta for a truly decadent but healthy appetizer that everyone will love.
We look forward to your eating healthy and in season in the new year with us by following our blog.
Best wishes from our farm kitchen to yours!
