One favorite no-cook meal in our house requires nothing more than some imaginative grocery shopping and a little cutting up of ingredients. Just put everything out on a tray, hand out small plates, and refill as necessary!
- a big loaf of ciabatta or other yummy bread (don't slice - just tear off hunks to self-serve)
- an avocado, some cucumbers, a tomato, several yummy cheeses (fresh mozzarella, sliced parmesan, sharp white cheddar) all cut into large-but-thin slices
- a bowl of hummus, another of kalamata olives
- a dish of extra virgin olive oil, liberally sprinkled with coarse salt, fresh-ground pepper, and whatever herbs you like
- thin-sliced deli salami
I love this meal because it's sooooo yummy, makes you feel like you're in a nice cafe instead of your kitchen, and everybody just takes what they want. No need to make sandwiches - just tear the bread, dip it in the oil or spread it with the hummus, grab a piece of cheese or meat or vegetable, and eat with your fingers!
