Your ideas - - I have a concoction I prepare and take to picnics.

Sliced tomato, topped wth mozzarella, pickled ginger and fresh basil. I add balsamic and oil at the site. The tray of about 20 slices disappears in 5 minutes.

The problem. The sliced tomato is a carrier for the other three but it is difficult to manage. Crackers would get soggy.

Do you guys have any ideas about a replacement carrier instead of the tomato slices?

1. Wasa bread?

It’s a bit more sturdy than plain crackers.

3. OMG Wasa bread is the absolute best!

With anything, esp. cream cheese.

8. Will it get soggy with the balsamic on top?

2. sliced cucumber or zucchini on the bottom...

...followed by the tomato. Ya gotta have the tomato, right?

4. I agree with zucchini. Pretty solid plus absorbs flavors

5. Some sort of lettuce as a wrap?

Or a tortilla (spinach or red pepper If you want more color). Then layer, roll, and slice into rounds? But I'm not sure how you would keep the tortilla outer layer from coming loose.

Sounds wonderful - like a caprese salad, yet with added ginger.

6. That's what toothpicks are for

… and it elevates mere finger foods to “hors d’oeuvres.”

7. I didn't post, tooth picks are already inserted .

9. Why not use the mozzarella slice as the carrier?

Sliced mozzarella, then the tomato, ginger and basil on top?

10. What about pineapple???

I love the cucumber slices idea (+ try lemon cukes if you can find them)…
