   These little snacks go well with all kinds of dips, from ranch dressing to hummus to marinara, or they're just fine all on their own. "Finger Food" suggests pairing them with:
   
   GREEN MEXICAN SALSA
   
   • 1 (10-ounce) can tomatillos, drained
   • 1 small onion, chopped
   • 1 jalapeño, chopped
   • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
   • 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro leaves
   • 1 to 2 tsp lime juice
   
   Place tomatillos in food processor with onion, jalapeño, garlic and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Process until smooth, then blend in lime juice to taste. Add remaining cilantro and process just long enough to mix evenly into dip.
   
   Makes 2 cups.
