Summer is upon us and I think we can never have enough cool menus to serve unexpected company or even our family. We will sneak in some grill items to accent our cold items.
When shopping for ingredients don’t forget to grab a bunch of sunflowers to add to your summer fun. Hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend and stayed safe.

Tomato Mozzarella Salad
Pefect to accompany a platter of cold cuts or a grilled steak.
The balsamic reduction can be made way ahead and has addition uses. To make the balsamic reduction:
Place the vinegar in a heavy-bottomed, non-reactive pot. Heat on low, at a light simmer. Turn the heat to low and reduce until syrupy 1/3 to ½ cup.
The vinegar will thicken as it cools.
This will keep in a cool place for months.
