Memorial Day fare is known for burgers, hot dogs and patriotic desserts — but there is so much more to this holiday (not that we don’t want a few of the classics on the menu, though!). So, why not impress your guests with an array of appetizers? Summery dips, sliders, flatbreads, deviled eggs and more: these recipes will get everyone's taste buds tingling. Can't wait for the burgers to come off the grill? The Pioneer Woman puts all the deliciousness of a bacon-topped patty into one tiny bite with this clever appetizer.

The only patriotic duty you’ll have this holiday is to create this flag-shaped dip for all your guests to enjoy with some chips, crudités, or crackers!

Two perfect foods - deviled eggs and guacamole - come together in this make-ahead party snack.

These refreshing bites will be a welcome addition to any cookout menu. Traditional nuoc cham, a Vietnamese dipping sauce, is much sweeter than the version here, which amps up the lime juice for a tangy twist. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of sugar.

How you prep your puff pastry goes a really long way in making these rich, flaky and tasty crackers. Baking the puff pastry between two sheet pans weighs it down and helps it bake as flat as possible. This will ensure that your crackers can handle the delectable spicy-sweet chickpea and tamarind topping.

These bite-size burger appetizers are even easier than a tray of sliders. Serve with extra sauces on the side for dipping.

Savory caramelized onions add a nice touch (and major flavor) to the homemade version of this satisfying dish.

Swapping a hot dog for a carrot takes a bold dose of spices to tame the vegetal sweetness and transform the carrot into a savory treat. Bake the puff pastry until really brown and crisp, so it is fully cooked through and contrasts with the soft carrot.

You’ll want to snack all day on this creamy, cheesy dip. Better make a double batch!

Tomatoes get a lot of love in the summer, and rightly so, but it’s hard to ignore the abundance of zucchini—so why not celebrate its bounty as well? Letting salted raw zucchini cubes sit for a few minutes before assembling pulls out some of the excess water so they're crisp against soft fresh mozzarella.
