It’s all in how you plate-up that gives the biggest smiles. For a delicious fresh one-dish chilled meal use a decorative pie dish for each person. This allows you to fill the “plate” with items that won’t ooze off the “plate” edge such as salad dressings because pie dishes have tall edges. Also, this deep-dish concept allows the plating design to be spectacular. My favorite culinary advice for the week, is to use these ingredients with the deep-dish plating design: A quarter wedge of an iceberg lettuce, topped with fresh blue cheese dressing, topped with fresh crabmeat pieces and then topped with fresh blue cheese crumble. In the plate design add: 3 slices of Tuscan cantaloupe and 3 lightly steamed asparagus spears. Decorate with some fresh herbs and your guests will be talking photos before the eat! All is a grand design chilled-down for a gorgeous afternoon luncheon or dinner at the lake. Just try the pie dish technique. It is like a versatile canvas and gives extraordinary culinary creativity! © Kelly McBride Loft
