3Hotdogs

Your ideas - - I have a concoction I prepare and take to picnics. [View all]

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?
