Related: About this forumYour 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?

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