DIY Summer Catering!

Tomatoes

We’re all about good food – who doesn’t love refreshing snacks during a hot, summer get together? We are fortunate to serve up some of these classic dishes to our private catering customers in the GTA. Read on to discover some of our best kept secrets when it comes to feeding your friends and family this summer!

Drinks: Brio!

Start the night off with a classic Italian Brio or a refreshing San Pellegrino. Or, visit the LCBO and pick up some hard brio – mixed with Vodka! Serve on ice 😉

Appetizer: Caprese Skewers

This modern Italian dish makes a fantastic appetizer for any occasion! Our catering customers love our original skewers, but we have changed some ingredients for many catering gigs. Learn what it takes to make our classic catering dish…

Recipe

  • Grape tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil
  • Mini bocconcini balls
  • 3 inch wooden skewers
  • Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar

Cut the grape tomatoes and bocconcini balls in half. Arrange 2 pieces of tomato, 2 pieces of bocconcini and 2 pieces of fresh basil on a skewer, alternating each ingredient. Repeat until all ingredients are used up! Try not to snack too much…

Before serving, lightly drizzle olive oil and balsamic over each skewer.

Chicken Caesar Salad

Caesar salad is fantastic, but with chicken is even better! Our catering customers love our food truck’s caesar and they all agree you should have it too!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Chicken Breasts
  • 3 heads of Romaine Lettuce
  • Croutons
  • Bacon Bits

Dressing:

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese

Grill the chicken breasts on the barbecue until cooked. Add all dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy! Chop up your romaine and throw it in a large bowl. Add your blended dressing, bacon bits, croutons and grilled chicken. Serve immediately – with a lemon slice!
