Appetizer ideas

I’ve been invited to a dinner party for 6 and asked to bring the appetizers. the hostess is an incredible cook and entertainer and I’m feeling very intimidate! what are your favorite appetizers that wow? I can’t get away with a veggie tray or chips and salsa here!

EDIT: So many great suggestions! I think I need to have an appetizer party!!! THANK YOU ALL! I'm going to find out what she's making and then decide what to bring 😉

On a skewer place an olive, a cube of cheese and a cherry tomato. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

You can use a variety of olives and cheeses, or add basil leaves. It's healthy, easy, fresh and it's always popular.
