Cinco De Mayo and Kentucky Derby on the same day? Not sure what to serve?
This recipe fits the bill for either party you may be having.
Not so typical ingredients put a healthy spin on an iconic party appetizer. Creamy avocado and Greek yogurt replace the saturated fat that typically comes from mayonnaise. Chipotle and cumin kick up the flavor, while cilantro and a splash of lime keep it fresh. Invest in a pastry bag and star tip and pipe the mixture into the egg whites for a gorgeous addition to your party menu.
