She has this dish categorized as an appetizer. And it would make one terrific appetizer for a Cinco de Mayo themed party. But I’m thinking about a light supper during Lent. And with all those colors – a promise of great things to come – like Easter Morning and the promise of forever. Wishing everyone a perfectly delightful Holy Monday!
