Cooking Tips |
|
**Try using goat
cheese in place of the blue cheese!
NOTE: This was one of the items we
prepared and tested when we were helping to put together
the Junior League of San Diego's Cookbook:
California Sol Food. This one was a big hit
with our raters. |

Quality- would make it again. "I've made this one a few times
now. Everyone always loves it, and it looks nice too. I have
varied the cheese from goat cheese to gorgonzola- both with good
results."
-Richmond, VA
"sounds
great! I have not made this yet---plan on this weekend-- but I have
found that the addition of fennel seed (~1 teaspoon) to this type of
veggie mix adds a great flavor addition!"
