Easy Persimmon & Prosciutto Bundles
Easy Persimmon & Prosciutto Bundles are a quick and easy appetizer to make for the holidays or whenever persimmons are in season. Each bundle is a perfect harmony of sweet and salty flavors and textures. Fuyu persimmons bring a natural sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the salty and savory profile of thinly sliced prosciutto. Mozzarella adds another layer of luxurious texture and flavor, along with the freshness of basil leaves nestled in each bundle. To balance the richness of this simple appetizer, these tasty bundles are finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Arugula Pear Salad
Our Arugula Pear Salad is an elegant option as a first course, but complex enough in flavor and texture to serve as a beautiful entrée salad. Peppery arugula, sweet thinly sliced pears, toasted walnuts, and tangy blue cheese, combine to make the most delightful salad for your holiday table. Drizzled with the most amazing salad dressing, each ingredient complements the other to produce a light and fresh appetizer salad. A great start for a special meal any time of year, this delicious salad takes only minutes to prepare and will impress your guests every time.
Bacon Wrapped Dates
These unctuous Bacon Wrapped Dates are salty, sweet, and tangy. Medjool dates are stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked until they are golden and crispy. Then right out of the oven, these piping hot appetizers are brushed with a Maple Bourbon Glaze that seals in all that wonderful flavor. This easy appetizer recipe is the perfect choice for your next gathering, and using only 5 ingredients, it takes just a few minutes to prepare. These blissful bites will have your guests asking for more.
