I am a huge cheese fan. I could eat cheese every day. And often, I do. I enjoy all kinds of cheese - cheddar cheese, goat cheese, havarti...you get the idea! I love trying new cheeses, and recently we were given the opportunity to try Tre Stelle cheeses. As always, excited to try new things, and to find a new recipe, I did a little searching and found a salad recipe that I thought
might work with our dinner. Here is the recipe:
Bocconcini Salad (Source: Food Network)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 200 g container Tre Stelle bocconcini (I used the mini-mini)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, bocconcini, basil and
garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, season
with salt and pepper (to taste). Serve,
and enjoy!
VERDICT:
This was the perfect compliment to our BBQ – such a nice, light treat with
the fresh bocconcini, the fresh tomatoes, the fresh basil..oh my! Our 6 year old "downed" his salad before he touched anything else on his plate - a true compliment! I look forward to making this one again!
Be sure to check out all the great Tre Stelle products and...RECIPES over at the Tre Stelle website, and on Facebook too! (great contests currently running on Facebook!)
