    Creative Summer Salads

    Caprese Salad Skewers
    Ingredients:

    * • 1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes
    * • 1 bunch basil leaves (need a leaf for every piece)
    * • 8 oz tub of bocconcini (little mozzarella balls)
    * • extra virgin olive oil
    * • balsamic glaze
    * • skewers to assemble the caprese
    * • coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

    Method:

    · Skewer a tomato, followed by a folded basil leaf, then a bocconcini ball... repeat if desired.

    · Place each skewer in stand (I use foam to secure each stick - hide it in a cute container!) or arranged on a platter.

    · Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper.

    Parmesan Cheese Cups
    Ingredients:

    Method:

    · Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    · Spoon level mounds of freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese and spread mounds into approximately 3 inch circles in an even thickness with your fingers. (*If you make them too thick they will be chewy rather than crispy, and if you brown them too much they will taste bitter. Aim for batches of 6 to 8 per baking sheet so they will be easy to work with while still warm.)

    · Bake about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and any bubbles that form turn into a light golden crust. They should be golden in color and lacy in appearance.

    · Remove from oven and allow crisps to cool slightly (1-2 minutes).

    · Gently transfer the crisps to a muffin tin.

    · Place a small drinking glass on top of each one to mold it into the shape of each muffin cup. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes.

    · Transfer to paper towels to "degrease" slightly. Fill with your favorite Caesar salad recipe. Top each salad with a cherry tomato.
    ==============================
    Chicken Salad in Tomato Cups
    Ingredients:

    * · Several large tomatoes
    * · 1 bottle Brianna's Poppy seed Dressing
    * · 1-2 cans Costco canned chicken
    * · Cut the top off of each tomato at an angle and hollow them out.
    * · Mix the poppy seed dressing into the canned chicken.
    * · Fill each tomato with the poppy seed chicken mixture and top with the tomato top!

    Method:

    "Take out" Chinese Chicken Salad with chopsticks
    Ingredients:

    Method:

    · Make your favorite Chinese chicken salad recipe (or cheat and buy the mix at Costco - it's yummy!)

    · Divide salad in several take out boxes.

    · Close each box, attach chopsticks with cute ribbon and begin your deliveries!
