Tomato Salsa with Cucumber Chips

The good news is that this healthy take on the traditional chips-and-salsa combo is nearly fat-free and super-refreshing. The antioxidant-rich salsa is delicious served right after it's made, but the flavors meld nicely after a day or two in the refrigerator.

Smoked Trout Spread

Inspired by the classic combination of bagels with lox and cream cheese, Tory Miller devised this variation using smoked, locally raised trout and homemade English muffins. It would be equally good on other breads, such as a baguette, or even the bagel that inspired it.

Butternut Squash and Sage Wontons

"Wonton wrappers are terrific for making ravioli when you don't have time to make homemade pasta," says Jill Donenfeld. The wontons here, filled with mashed butternut squash and roasted garlic, get nice and crispy when sautéed in a touch of oil, but they're also delicious when steamed.

Creamy Spinach Dip

Try this light spinach dip made healthier with reduced-fat cream cheese, nonfat yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. It will save you a whopping 84 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving when compared to traditional versions. Serve it with pita chips and crunchy vegetables or spread it on a sandwich.

Artichoke-and-Spinach Dip 

We like to serve this dip at winter tailgates because it travels well and is simple to eat (no plates or forks necessary). When the weather is very cold, you can reheat this creamy, slightly spicy dip in a skillet on a portable grill, but it's also delicious at room temperature.
