Thick cucumber slices and black olives shaped into friendly spiders, with a sesame yogurt dip. A party trick that is genuinely light — about 95 kcal a serving.
Cut the cucumber into thick rounds, then halve them lengthwise and trim a small curve so they sit like spider legs.
Fan eight cucumber pieces into curved legs, place a whole olive in the centre as the body, and dot two tiny olive pieces on top for eyes.
Stir the Greek yogurt with light soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and half the sesame seeds until smooth.
Spoon the dip into a small bowl, scatter the remaining sesame seeds, and serve right away so the cucumber stays crisp.

Toss the chilled noodles with the dressing, then top with chicken, shrimp, eggs, cucumber ribbons, nori and sesame seeds.
Yes. Everything here is built on lean protein, vegetables and lighter swaps, so the snacks stay low calorie without losing the fun. Each card shows full nutrition, and nothing is deep-fried or loaded with added sugar.
You can slice the cucumber and mix the yogurt dip up to a day ahead, but assemble the spiders within an hour of serving so the cucumber stays crisp. Keep everything covered in the fridge until party time.
Whole-wheat spaghetti or rice noodles both work well. Soba made from 100 percent buckwheat keeps the dish low-GI and gluten-free, so check the label if that matters to you.
