Think of this hearty tossed salad as a deconstructed BLT sandwich, where the bread appears in the form of croutons. Round out the plate with fresh cantaloupe.
Don't forget that something fresh, vibrant, and crunchy is often missing from potluck gatherings; this easy salad will get gobbled up quickly because it satisfies on those levels.
What's the secret to its success? Fresh basil and onions mixed with our garlic & herb flavored mayo. Add ham and a slice of sharp Cheddar, and you've got a winner.
Fresh strawberries are the star of our summery cake, though the smooth and fruity cream cheese frosting comes close to stealing the show. You won't want your slice to end.
Fresh berries in and on whipped, chilled cream cheese would have been enough. But no. We're upping the ante with a chocolate chip cookie crust. Pure heaven.
