Quick and easy app ideas?

[fancynewbeesly]

So we have been unexpectedly invited to a new friends house for dinner---they invited us last night, but we are going tonight. I am looking to bring a quick and easy appetizer. 

Right now we don't have much food on hand (we came back from vacation the other day) and have just been eating random stuff before the Costco run on Monday. DH will probably get home around 3, so I was going to have him run to the store for ingredients---I figure we are heading over around 6ish.

Any ideas of something really easy to make???

Guacamole?

Cheese and crackers and olives

Knorr spinach dip in a bread bowl. It takes less than 10 minutes to throw together, and a few hours to meld. Serve with bread, crackers, carrots, and celery.

Cheese, salami, crackers, olives, and honey arranged on a nice platter.

Spinach dip in a bread bowl is my go to. I usually bring extra bread and/or chips.
Now I want spinach dip.

Corn & black bean salsa

Greek layer dip (this is a crowd favorite with my friends)

Caprese skewers

I can link recipes if you want but I usually just search those and kind of adjust to my own tastes.

This was my first thought. Slice up some cheese, pepperoni, triscuts and olives.

I'm probably too late but bacon wrapped dates are fast and irresistible.

Breakfast sausage (spicy if you like) browned and drained and added to cream cheese with a mixer. Serve with crackers. It's actually really yummy.

Inspired by my own post, I ordered the stuff for spinach and artichoke dip for tomorrow.

Thanks for the ideas! DH went to the food store and ending up picking up a fruit platter because all the kids inhale the fruit and a cheese/pepperoni/salami platter with crackers. Oh yes and beer!

I definitely will be saving some of these ideas when we have more notice about going to someone's house for dinner...like more than a days notice to get ingredients.
