Notes

SOOT's Purrrrfect Suggestions

As with all my recipes, there's always room to wander off the beaten path and make it your own! Here are a few of my favorite twists:
  •  Swap the salami for smoked chicken for a lighter but equally delicious picnic bowl.
  •  Add a handful of chopped dates or dried figs for a touch of natural sweetness.
  •  Try candied pecans or toasted walnuts in place of the hazelnuts for a whole new flavor adventure.
  •  Don't be afraid to experiment with the cheese! Any favorite aged cheddar, Gouda, Gruyère, or even a firm crumbled blue cheese is wonderful.
  •  Adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. A little more pear? Extra cheese? More berries?  Thats the beauty of the harvest bowl!
Serve with a warm, crusty baguette and your favorite Oregon Pinot Noir.
And most importantly...find a beautiful view, gather good company, and savor every bite.
