Outdoor Bistro (with Apps, the edible kind!)
Spring is the PERFECT time of year for outdoor living and what is our favorite outdoor activity? Well, dining, of course! Outdoor bistro sets are an ideal way to have an intimate meal under the sun or stars. A good bistro table will have enough room for at least two appetizer plates and drinks.
Here are a few of the well-designed bistro sets made by Summer Casual. All are available for purchase online and in-store through many fine retailers. To view our entire collection of Bistro Table Sets, go online to http://www.summercasual.com/BistroSets.html.
APPETIZER - Cucumbers with Black Olives & Hummus
This recipe is SO easy to make. And it is very refreshing on a warm day.
All you need is 1 cucumber, a small can of sliced black olives and your favorite readymade hummus. Peel the cucumber and then cut into 1/4" slices. Using a spoon carve out a little in the middle of the slice, enough to make a small indent. Spoon on the hummus and top with a couple of olive pieces. Place neatly on an appetizer plate and ENJOY!
APPETIZER - Fig, Cheese & Crackers Plate
Perfect with a glass of wine, red or white.
For this plate FRESH figs are ideal but dry figs are good as well. I like to pair 3 cheeses at a time. Try Gruyere for salt, Wensleydale for sweet (often with dried fruit embedded, yum!) and Havarti for creaminess. For the crackers go with whatever brand you love.
