Egg Salad on Saltines
This is from a good friend, and is so simple, it is brilliant. You need 3 items, egg salad of your choosing, saltine crackers, and cherry tomatoes. I normally make a sandwich from egg salad and serve deviled eggs as appetizers, this simplifies the appetizer problem to a lighter and less filling appetizer (or you could be like me and make a bunch of these and call it a meal). No quantities or servings stated as this is a make what you need recipe, more of a guide than a recipe really. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Prepare your own favorite egg salad or prepare from my shortcut, I have several that would work really well and expand your ex salad experience (listed below), or your choice to use a store bought egg salad.
Place a good spoonful of chilled egg salad on a saltine cracker, stick half or quarter of a cherry tomato in the egg salad. Arrange on a tray, serve as an appetizer.
Low cost.
