The time is approaching for holiday gatherings that may call for an appetizer or two. These two delicious ideas are appropriately red and green, but would also be great for watching your favorite sports teams!
Many years ago, I won a “Star Tribune” recipe contest with these simple pita wedges using pesto. The tomato version offers a fresh twist, and looks great along with the pesto version on a large garnished platter. The hot artichoke dip is always a crowd pleaser. Leave the crab out if you wish, but don’t skip the tomato and scallion garnish. Let the games begin!
