Mint or a sprinkle of nutmeg would be a much better choice. As to what to use as a garnish, look to the world of herbs and spices. Fresh herbs like thyme, chives, lavender flowers and the ubiquitous parsley will add beautiful and edible touches to your appetizer. When it comes to spices, just a sprinkle of paprika, curry powder or cinnamon is sure enliven up items such as stuffed eggs, dips and spreads. Other items that make wonderful garnishes are citrus fruit zest, sprinklings of seeds like cumin, caraway or black sesame, little curls of Parmesan cheese, or tiny elegant fruits like raspberries or fresh currants.
Sweet appetizers can look lovely with a dusting of confectioner's sugar or cocoa powder.
Just remember to keep all the garnishes simple and extraordinary. Oftentimes a single leaf of a bright green herb is all you'll need to make your creation wow the eye. One the most important things to keep in mind is your own personal uniqueness. You, after all, are the one who is setting the stage. Only place one or two different kinds of appetizers on each serving tray.
