Today’s Healthy Holiday Tip…
Hosting a party? Here is one of my favorite appetizers that is both healthy and tasty, not to mention extremely simply to make:
Fresh figs (or rehydrated dried figs- easy to do by soaking in water)
Raw, organic pecans
Organic (nitrate/nirate-free) prosciutto* (if you are vegetarian or don't eat pork- skip this part!)
Remove the stems of the figs. Cut a small slit in each fig and stuff a pecan half in. Wrap with a small, thin slice of prosciutto. If making ahead, refrigerate, but allow 20' to sit at room temp before serving!
A great alternative to cheesy, creamy appetizer!
