Appetizers, also known as Hors d’oeuvres, are a specific type of food served prior to the meal or outside of the original meal. The purpose of serving appetizers is to keep the guests on hold before the actual meal is served. In most cases, when any party is arranged, appetizers are served so that the guests may enjoy their time with light foods.

Appetizers can be of both types – vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Depending on your food preference, you may select either of these two types. In this article, we will limit our discussion to two easy but exclusive vegetarian appetizer recipes, while discussing about non-vegetarian ones is beyond the scope of this article.

Radish Sandwiches

Preparing radish sandwiches is a very easy job; however, this is one of the most uncommon and exclusive vegetarian appetizer recipes. Let us start with 3 bunches of trimmed radishes, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 10 diagonally sliced baguette and coarse kosher salt. Take a medium-sized bowl and pour chilled water into it. Now place the radishes into the bowl and keep them there for half an hour to two hours. Drain the water and cut them into small pieces. Spread the unsalted butter over the baguette in a good amount. Sprinkle salt over it according your own salt preference. Place the radishes atop the baguette and serve to enjoy one of the best vegetarian appetizer recipes.

Summer Pizzas

This is another and one of the most exclusive vegetarian appetizer recipes. One most interesting fact about this pizza is that it is a no-cook pizza. Surprising but true, you do not need to cook this pizza. Interesting? Let us explore. Take 5 crisp breads or flatbreads, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 15 small pear tomatoes, 1½ tbsp finely diced celery, 15 pitted green halved olives and 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley. Spread the butter over the flatbreads in sufficient amount. Top up each of the breads with 6 halved tomato pieces. Now sprinkle the diced celery. Again top up with 6 halved olives and then sprinkle the parsley over it. Serve to enjoy one of the most exclusive no-cook vegetarian appetizer recipes.

The specialty of these two vegetarian appetizer recipes is that both of them are very easy to prepare. None of them are time consuming at all. The ingredients of both of the vegetarian appetizer recipes are very easy to collect. If you find them in your local store, you can easily find them out. And most importantly, both of these appetizers are delicious and mouth-watering. One important point to note: Not all the time having appetizers leads to meal. Sometimes people prefer to have only appetizers, especially with their wine or other beverages. Planning for a party now?
