Author Notes
There are many similar recipes on the Internet, but my friend Maria and I changed it to make it our own. It is a summer favorite at my beach cottage to snack on while having cocktails on the porch or a nice addition to the cooler at the beach. Everyone loves it and it presents beautifully. —belfman
