My favorite snacks to serve at a party:

Homemade guacamole with organic tortilla chips or veggie crudite.
Most of these can be store-bought, or assembled with very little prep time. Which is how I like to roll.
Olives and pickled veggies
Hummus and veggies or Mary's Gone Crackers
Dry-roasted nuts with sea salt
Smoked fish on cucumber rounds
Kale chips
