My mom rolled into Thanksgiving this year with this quick and delicious vegetarian starter. We liked it so much that she whipped it up again for me and my dad the next night for dinner. I’d call this recipe “food assembly” rather than “cooking,” which makes it idiot-proof even for non-cooks. But it’s pretty; it’s healthy; and thanks to the sweet tomatoes, it tastes fresh. Serve it with chips, crackers, crusty bread, pita, or vegetables.
Enjoy!

It’s so easy and it looks soo delicious
I’m going to try this for Christmas. Thank you for posting it Anna! And whoever’s house that is, is beautiful.
thanks! I have to credit my mom, a great and inspirational cook who is not afraid to do something easy when the time is right! and whatever she serves is always delicious. even that lentil loaf that I made fun of in high school.

Takes me back — and one can do variations on the theme — red and green veggies (tomatoes, parsley, cucumber) on snowy white feta for Christmastime, or finely chopped olives, or snipped fresh basil. Here’s another EASY appetizer I discovered at a farm stand (quaint but a big operation in Lexington, Mass) — a slice of soft goat cheese topped with chopped pimento and finely cut fresh dill, and drizzled with your finest olive oil. Another assembly job, but hey, it’s OK to keep some things easy. And this one is colorful and delicious.
so good! thanks for the recipe.
