My family's favorite nights are spent with friends playing music, cracking jokes and telling stories over great food and drinks. I know I'm not alone in my love for casual celebrations with good food and wine. To inspire more fun, I'm sharing my crowd pleasing kale chicken Caesar bruschetta recipe.
This kale chicken Caesar bruschetta comes together in a snap and pairs perfectly with my new favorite wine. The Dreaming Tree Wines are the delicious result of the creative vision of musician Dave Matthews and New Zealand native Sean McKenzie.
These guys have a great story about how and why they launched The Dreaming Tree Wines. What excited me was their commitment to sustainability and the environment. Amazingly, they've already donated over $1,000,000 to environmental organizations, including The Wilderness Society and Living Lands & Waters.
As a baby and kids product designer focussed on sustainable materials and my own commitment to earth-friendly business practices, I love supporting another like minded team.
Party Food That's Fun!
Keeping things classy, but casual is easy when you weave a theme through your planning and preparation. I created an eco-chic gathering by using organic ingredients in my kale chicken Caesar bruschetta recipe, decorating with organic flowers from my garden and serving The Dreaming Tree Wines.
Using seasonal ingredients is another way to cook sustainably. For summertime parties, substitute crispy romaine for kale that peaks in late summer to early winter. Use fresh citrus for the Caesar dressing and try sweet Meyer lemons for a savory-sweet dressing.
I love pairing bite sized dishes with a specialty drink for the evening. The Dreaming Tree Wines are available in light to robust reds and in my opinion, the two most delicious and universally loved white wine varietals - Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
When it comes to celebrating, making your guests feel comfortable is priority number one."
Don't worry about what meat to pair with what wine, simply enjoy what you like whether red or white wine with fresh, organic bites. My kale chicken Caesar bruschetta is served as heavy appetizer that blurs the division between starter and entree. A few of these over a glass of wine makes great fare that satisfies.
