There is nothing more delicious than lunch with friends,
taking in the sunshine and eating our veggies. It was all about sundresses and
chatting, while filling our bellies with fresh food and white wine.

Our hostess put together a delicious strawberry and balsamic
bruschetta appetizer using
this
recipe from
Pinch My Salt,
paired with smooth and tangy goat cheese on crispy bread. This was so yummy. The recipe played to my mild aversion to tomatoes in bruschetta by replacing them with fresh
strawberries. A touch of sweet and tart balsamic, a dash of salt and pepper,
and chopped lively basil, made the appetizer sing. Goat cheese added heft and luxury,
but kept with the summery theme.
Who knew how delicious savory strawberries could be!?

We also munched on a delectable salad, complete with all of
my favorite toppings. There was blue cheese for salt and bite, craisins and
apples brought mild sweetness and tang, meaty walnuts, and crunchy carrots, all
on top of crispy romaine. Salad is not as stressful when there are a ton of
tasty goodies resting on top. I like to think of the greens to be a kind of
plate, serving up all those colorful toppings.

At the end of our little luncheon, we shared some mini
cupcakes from Louissa's Cupcakes (more on those later). A special sweet ending to
a lovely afternoon!
