¼ c. chopped celery

½ lb. shrimp*, cooked, cooled, peeled and

Place first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.  Cream together. Stir in shrimp.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serve with TFM French Rounds or TFM Entertainment Crackers.

*I used 71/90 cooked shrimp from seafood.

Over Cream Cheese
1 Block Cream cheese
Terrapin Ridge Hot Pepper Bacon Jam

As the name suggests - spread Hot Pepper Bacon Jam on top of cream cheese.  Serve with your favorite crackers.

All four of the above recipes were big hits with customers and my TFM taste testers.  Easy, breezy and tasty.

Bowtie Provolini Pesto Salad

1 lb. TFM Bowtie Pesto Salad

½ lb. TFM Salad Bar Provolini Anitpasti, with some oil

Place Bowtie Pesto Salad in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

(With) Provolini Antipasti, slice olives and cheese.  With its oil, place in bowl with Bowtie Pesto.  Toss gently.  Serve.

No comments on this from customers.  Product didn't sell.  I'm personally not a fan of the Bowtie Pesto Salad so I made it more palatable (for me) by adding olives from the salad bar.  However, the provolini cheese is too strong for me; I have to pick it out.
