No more chopped liver

I used to serve chopped liver as an appetizer every week for Shabbos lunch. However, with my husband's family history of heart disease (from both his mother and father's sides) I have to stop.

Does anyone have any ideas for what I can serve instead?

(I make mock liver sometimes, but I'm looking for some other ideas.)

Thanks.

finely chop raw white mushrooms in the food processor
saute diced onion
add mushrooms and cook until the juices cook out. season with salt and pepper
cool and add into mashed eggs as you would chopped liver.

Thanks!
since we're worried about cholesterol, I'd like to also stay away from eggs, if possible.

Any other ideas?

Are you looking for something specifically like chopped liver or are you open to something else - like maybe broiled salmon? or a salad with chunks of the salmon etc.

slices of grilled chicken breast are good either alone or over a green salad

We as guests were served chicken salad (lettuce base, with slices of chicken breasts), with a mustard dressing.
I've had fruit soup too as a guest.
Or you can have a spread of 5+ salads like Israelis do. A lot of work, but healthy!

cut up grape fruit in winter and catalope honey/dew in summer... we always had that shabbos lunch growing up. very refreshing.
citrus fruits are very healty, you can do roll dough w/ mushrooms and potatos inside too

Dining In (I think) has a mock liver recipe using lima beans.

grilled or breaded chicken cutlets (if you serve them Friday night then use the leftovers) cut into strips over salad with any dressing (honey mustard, poppy seed, oriental). You can dress it up with fruit, craisins, nuts, croutons.

Are you serving liver for zecher lemaan? What's wrong with just gefilte fish, salad, and cholent ?

Salmon salad
Gefilte fish
salads, dips, pita chips
grilled chicken strips over noodles
mini meatballs over rice
fruit soup
fresh fruit
unusual lettuce salad (ie; with fruits and nuts)

My typical first course is some type of fish (gefilte, salmon, tilapia) and tons of salads and dips (chummos, dill dip, eggplant, guacamole, coleslaw, sweet cabbage, cherry tomato, israeli, carrot, bean salad). I often find that the first course ends up being the "main" course in that we spend longer over it.. and all the better because it's healthy and delicious. And while it is a lot of work, I then have most of my shalosh seudos worked out, plus lots of healthy yummy salads available in the fridge. An added benefit is that I buy a few of the dips, make one or two erev Shabbos, and then the rest I make Shabbos morning, so this really spares me lots of time from cooking on erev Shabbos.

A slice of melon or half a grapefruit

Individually plated salads - maybe with some meat/chicken/salmon mixed in
