Summer Sausage Sriracha Stars Recipe

I love gatherings for the holidays.  I love the company, the warmth and the food.  I confess I love appetizers.  They are tasty treats and I love having a selection at parties to choose from.  Today I’m sharing a fun twist on a holiday favorite at my house.  We like a version of this recipe that uses ranch sauce, but his is a fun spicy twist on the recipe.  This recipe has some heat to it, but you can eliminate the sriracha to take away the heat. The Johnsonville Summer sausage is full of flavor is the star ingredient of the appetizer. The packages meat can be stored in you pantry – it doesn’t take up any of that premium holiday refrigerator space.

Hostess Tips:

Dice the ingredients, prep the wonton cups, and the sauce the night before to save time on assembly.

Summer sausage is great on a charcuterie board no cooking needed.

Fresh appetizers like this one always taste better than the frozen prefab ones at the store.

Don’t worry about having a huge appetizer selection just two or three options will keep guests happy.
