"[Yield: 36 pieces] This is great finger food for a reception. Salad is best made in advance and rolls are best filled the day of use. The 2 hour cooking time is for the salad to marinate. Service tip: line service platter with mini muffin cups. Place filled roll half directly into that cup and it won't roll around or leak through on the platter."

A refugee from a career in retail management, I managed The Cooks Library (most excellent shop) for Ellen Rose (best boss).I trained in classic technique with Cecilia Decastro in the days of fusion cuisine out west. Worked in bakery and catering and went on to France and Italy where I studied, and worked in restaurants. I came back to my native VA, ran a catering company, and married the nicest man in the world. I am contemplating my next career incarnation.
