CHERRY VEGGIE ROLL UPS
The inspiration for Cherry Vege Roll-ups is the bountiful supply of fresh sweet cherries available from June through mid-August. These colorful salads-in-a-blanket are downright fun to make and they taste great, too. They're perfect as a fancy luncheon dish when garnished with edible flowers, but work equally well as a mid-morning or afternoon snack.
Kids will love to assemble Cherry Vege Roll-ups themselves. Set the ingredients out on the counter and give your budding cooks a quick demonstration. The cream cheese mixture binds the other ingredients together so little frustrations are kept to a minimum.
