It’ll satisfy your craving for something tasty without making you feel overly full. You can make it your own by serving it with a dipping sauce of your choice – anything from ranch to blue cheese to even a little sriracha to spice it up even more. Whatever you choose, you’ll find this dish to be a tasty one you’ll keep serving again and again.

Skinny Margarita

As long as we’re cutting out calories in our appetizer, let’s throw in a recipe for a low-calorie cocktail to keep the party going. This drink is refreshing and always sure to please!
