2037. Summer Platter with Whipped Basil Ricotta

I would be content in a world that serves all its meals and snacks in the form of grazing platters. It does seem as though summer is especially prone to serving food in that manner, and this whipped basil ricotta platter is one such example of endless customizations.

2036. Fresh Peach Donut Fritters

My first exposure to fruit fritters was as a child reading the Boxcar Children, when they picked cherries and ate fritters from their harvest. It seemed so exotic and exciting at the time.

2035. Peach Sun Tea

Sun tea is when you brew the tea under the summer sun for several hours. This is a peach flavored sun tea.

2034. Cypriot Cheese Borek Rolls

Fried finger food is practically irresistible by anyone I know.

2033. Sicilian Tuna Bean Salad

Besides a very simple dressing, this Sicilian tuna bean salad has three main ingredients: onion, tuna, and beans. Adding a final sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley really brings it all together. You can further bulk the salad up by adding it to a layer of sliced tomatoes as the base.

2032. Quick Sesame Poppy Crackers

I do have better recipes for crackers on MCW, but posting this in case someone wants to give it a go.

2031. Charcuterie Paste

This spreadable paste has all the essential elements of a charcuterie board, blended up. It's got the cured meat, cheese, cornichons, and extra added flavors in the form of seeded mustard and onion.

2030. Blender Balsamic Vinaigrette

Points just keep gathering up in favor of this recipe. Not only is this a delicious salad dressing, it also makes a good quantity that keeps perfectly in the refrigerator for a week or more.

2029. Haloomi Zaatar Scarpaccia

Scarpaccia is a vegetable-laden and often cheesy Italian flatbread that was born out of necessity to use up leftovers (don't those just make up the best foods anyway?).

2028. Seared Mortadella Sandwich

Frequently in life and in all its various aspects, it does one good to go back to basics.
