There is something about grilled fruit that just screams summer, don’t you think? It may not seem like the most obvious choice to grill but the result is juicy, refreshing and absolutely delicious. Especially when paired with a few extra ingredients! Make an easy appetizer out of it with grilled cantaloupe, mozzarella, fresh basil and prosciutto skewers….finished off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Classic, simple, vibrant, plus it’s super quick to make! Homemade pesto is such a tasty sauce to have on hand and is a fantastic way to add a burst of freshness to your dishes! Incorporate this sauce into pasta, sandwiches or try using as marinade for chicken!
This is our kind of saucy! Perfectly paired with pasta or used as a pizza sauce. This homemade tomato sauce is super easy and extremely flavourful. The smokiness created from utilizing the BBQ really takes this sauce to the next level. We absolutely love it! Fill a few jars and store them in the freezer to conveniently take you through the cooler months.
Beat the heat with this beautiful seasonal salad. This combination is so fresh, fruity and is absolutely bursting with the flavours and aromas of summertime. Incorporating the watermelon creates a refreshing burst, which mingles so deliciously with the fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, feta and green onions. Top this salad off with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze to create the most delightful summertime side.
Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness smothered in strawberries, basil, honey, balsamic and sprinkled with pistachios! Not only does this colourful appetizer look beautiful, it is completely addicting. Serve with toasted baguette and voila, you have a luxurious work of art to serve at your next event!
