Because I think like a food blogger and not a normal person, I was having a little spazz attack over which recipe to discuss here today. But with the holiday weekend and opening day coming up, I thought everyone might appreciate a recipe that would be a lighter contrast to all the ham and chocolate bunnies, marshmallow peeps, burgers, brats and beers we’ll all potentially consume.

I had a good mind to share Grandma Damron’s recipe for The Naughtiest Cheesy Potatoes on God’s Green Earth (which I’ve been threatening to do here for like, almost three years), and I came pretty close. But since no one actually strives to sport a jelly belly on Spring Break, the lighter option won out. This is one of my go-to appetizer recipes; I whip it up when I want to serve something gorgeous, semi-healthy and in a pinch. You should try it, too.
