Guest guest Posted August 6, 2000 Report Share Posted August 6, 2000 * Exported from MasterCook * Menu (Summer): " Al Fresco Lunch " Recipe By : Everyday Cooking with Dr. Dean Ornish, page 167 Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Menus Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***** NONE ***** Gazpacho with White Beans (see separate recipe) Zucchini and Cheese Quesadillas (see separate recipe) Summer Fruit Salad with Lime and Mint (see separate recipe) Eating outdoors is one of life's simple pleasures, whether it's lunch by a swimming pool or a picnic on the grass. Take advantage of good summer weather to set your table (or blanket!) outdoors and treat guests to this tantalizing lunch: chilled Spanish gazpacho with hot Mexican quesadillas followed by a photogenic fruit salad with the zing of fresh lime. The meal could just as easily be a light slimmer supper, eaten with friends on a patio or terrace after the sun goes down. You can prepare the quesadillas indoors, or outdoors on a gas or charcoal grill. Just be sure to have plenty of them if there are kids around. The timing: Make the soup up to 12 hours ahead. Make the fruit salad up to 4 hours ahead. Prepare all the quesadilla ingredients but do not cook them until you are ready to eat. They should be served hot from the oven or grill as a companion to the gazpacho. Follow with the fruit salad. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
