Whole30 Appetizers

These 25+ Whole30 appetizers are perfect entertaining food. Whether you’re looking for a snack, a dip, or a finger food, you’re sure to find an appetizer recipe that you’ll love.

If you’re doing a Whole30, get togethers can be tricky. A lot of the time party food isn’t very Whole30 friendly – but it doesn’t have to be that way!

I’ve rounded up over 25 great appetizer recipes made with real food that are not only Whole30 compatible but are sure to be crowd favorites. Some have bacon, some have shredded chicken, some have their own dipping sauce, and some are great just on their own.

Whether you’re hosting for the Super Bowl, have a summer cookout planned, or are gearing up for a holiday party, these appetizers are right on the money.

The recipes are divided into the following categories to make it easier to find what you’re looking for. Simply click on the category you’re interested in and you’ll be taken there. Or just scroll through to see what party appetizer looks good to you!
