The onset of spring and summer is a real paradise for all vegetarians, because then all sorts of fresh vegetables begin to appear, which in winter were missing from our menu.
That is why we offer you here 3 ideas for healthy vegetarian appetizers, suitable both for our everyday life and for the preparation of a festive table.
1. Stuffed tomato or cucumber type "Shmerkeze"
You may not know what is behind the word "shmerkeze" because it is German and actually means cheese that can be spread on something. It is possible to use it, for example, to spread on a thicker slice of cucumber. Such vegetarian appetizer it is often prepared by catering companies because it can be stuffed on a stick and offered on different occasions in the form of bites.
With shmerkeze you can also fill a tomato to serve as an appetizer.
How to make your own shmerkeze? Very easy. All you need to do is crush a certain amount of our typical Bulgarian cheese and add yoghurt to it so that it can be spread. All kinds of green spices such as dill and parsley, garlic, green onions, etc. go well with it.

You can find recipes on our website, and we will add that you will have to take enough time for the grated zucchini to drain well from its liquid.
3. Spring vegetable meatballs
In the spring time in the garden, as well as on the market stands, we can come across all kinds of "greens" - dock, spinach, nettle, sorrel, etc. This is the best season for their consumption not only because they are fresh and seasonal, but also due to the fact that in the spring our body needs more iron. And the so-called "greens" are a great source of iron.
The easiest recipe is to lightly stew them in butter and add grated boiled potatoes, egg and spices to your taste. To keep your vegetable meatballs healthy, do not fry them in a pan, but roll them in flour and bake them in the oven. You can serve them with yogurt to which you have added dill and garlic.
