Make appetizers healthier by lowering their fat and calorie content with these key tweaks.

  • Trim quiche by using half whole eggs and half egg whites. Load it with vegetables, too, so you feel full with a smaller slice.
  • Slim down crab dip by swapping out regular mayo for the low-fat kind.
  • Skinny up chicken sate by using low-fat peanut butter and reduced-sodium soy sauce. And choose skinless, all-white meat for chicken skewers.

    An easy way to lighten up is to cook for the season. Going for lighter party fare like a light salad with sliced cukes, red onions tossed with a seasoned rice vinegar creates a nice dish–and one that you don’t have to worry will spoil in the summer.
