Lean, green and ghoulishly gratifying, these three recipes are a healthy-twist on creative Halloween appetizers to make in time for your gathering on the spookiest night of the year.

 

Ghoulish Guac

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of black tortilla chips
  • 4 avocados, peeled, seeded
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 pitted black olives

 

Instructions

  1. Place the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork.
  2. Add garlic and lime juice and mix.
  3. Mix in onion and tomato.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a low bowl, smoothing the surface as much as possible.
  5. Add the sour cream or yogurt to a cake piping bag, or a small baggie. Cut a small hole in the corner of the baggie, then carefully squeeze out a web pattern on the guacamole surface.
  6. Place the spider in the web: use one whole olive for the spider body, and one cut into strips for the legs. 
  7. Serve immediately.

 

Deviled Avo Eyeballs
