Cool and refreshing for summer. Thanks Denese. Ingredients:
8 ounces mozzarella cheese |
9 ounces ham (oscar mayer shaved virginia brand ham) |
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved |
6 ounces black olives, drained |
12 pickled banana pepper rings |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. *1. Cut mozzarella cheese into 24 thin sticks. Wrap each stick around 1 ham slice, and place in 11 x 7 inch dish. Add tomatoes, black olives, banana peppers, and red onion.
2. **2. Whisk together olive oil and next 6 ingredients. Drizzle over mixture in dish. Cover and chill 8 up to 24 hrs, turning occasionally. Drain and transfer to a serving dish.
3. *Instead of block of mozzarella cheese, I use the mozzarella string cheese, cut that up and used it. Once ham and cheese were rolled, I cut into bite-size pieces.
4. **Instead of turning the mixture, I just stirred it. Mine had marinated about 18 hours I did forget to drain the marinade off and that is something I would try to remember to do the next time I make it.
5. - Also, I think the next time I make it, I am going to use salami as well as ham and maybe throw in some cooked bow-tie pasta.
