Labor Day appetizer planning gets harder when every recipe needs the same oven space or last-minute attention. These 15 summer appetizers mix chilled dips, make-ahead pinwheels, sliders, grilled seafood, and warm finger foods so the spread can come together in stages. Several can be prepped or chilled ahead, while others cook quickly closer to serving. The result is a varied table with plenty to snack on before the main food comes out.
