You probably can’t tell from my recipe index, but my favorite thing in the world is appetizers. To me, there is nothing better than setting up a table with many offerings and enjoying small bites of everything. Summer, especially, is a magnificent time for this type of casual outdoor entertaining.

I love doing simple things to elevate my offerings. For example, instead of just having cheese and crackers, my go-to combination is buffalo mozzarella with a little relish of olives, tomato, and basil. Simple, but delicious. I serve them with Breton® Gluten Free Crackers, which have a light and crispy texture that everyone enjoys. I love the Herb and Garlic flavor!

This combination would also be great with a little Gallo Salame in the mix.

Speaking of salame, I am obsessed with this Italian Chopped Salad. I simply can’t get enough of it.

think every tapas plate needs a little salad, and this one is perfect. With crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, Gallo Salame, chickpeas, basil, olives, and scallions you’ve got a salad packed with texture and flavor. Add a crushed Breton® Gluten Free Crackers on top, and you’ve got a salad that is out of this world.

For great entertaining solutions, look for Breton® Gluten Free Crackers at your local WALMART and #DareToBeInspired. Right now at Walmart you can save $1 with an Ibotta offer when you buy two Breton® Gluten Free Crackers.
