¼ of a head of fennel shaved paper thin on a mandolin

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss with enough of the roasted tomato vinaigrette to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve on a chilled plate

Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette

½ pint grape tomatoes tossed in a little olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes in a 500 degree oven or in a pre-heated saute pan over the stove until the skin of the tomatoes becomes browned and or charred.

½ teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons rinsed and dried capers

1 tablespoon freshly cut chives

1 tablespoon chopped Italian flat leaf parsley

½ teaspoon celery salt

Pale green celery leaves for garnish

Freshly cracked black pepper

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss with a spoon to incorporate. Serve chilled with garlic crostinis

Amelia’s Garlic Crostini

1 Francese loaf from Amelia’s Bakery (any other crusty baguette will work as well)

2 Cloves fresh garlic

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions: Pre-heat an oven to 350 degrees. Cut the francese loaf on a bias into ¼ slices and lay on a sheet tray in a single layer. Pour a little bit of olive oil onto each slice and season with the salt and pepper. Bake until crisp
