Meze style starter

[annandale]

For Christmas dinner I'd like to 'hand' (as my favourite 40s American books say) plates of canapes as a starter instead of going straight to the table. Probably lots of cava to drink with it. I've got as far as smoked salmon and ground to a halt. I want really light ones as I hate the overstuffed feeling at Christmas. Any genius ideas??

Asparagus wraped in airdried ham, pesto and cheese stuffed cherry tomatos, mini mozerella stuffed peppadew peppers, mini shot glasses of gazpacho

All fairly light and can be preped day in advance, look attractive.
