Red White and Blue Salad

1(8 oz.) ball  Fresh mozzarella or 1 tub of fresh mozzarella pearl or boccocini
1 small container or as desired  Fresh blueberries
1 pint or as desired Fresh strawberries
3 Tablespoons Honey
Optional: Fresh mint leaves

Wash fruit and drain well.  Drain mozzarella if packed in water.  Cut mozzarella balls (if not using pearls) into pieces suitable for serving in a salad.  Cut strawberries into desired size pieces.

Optional:  mint leaves may be used for garnish or chopped and included in the salad – peferably use as a garnish on top of the salad with some extra pieces of whole fruit or faned (cut partially to the top of the berry and then spread like a fan) strawberries.

Combine fruit and cheese pieces. Top with honey and stir to coat.  DO NOT USE TOO MUCH HONEY as it will get too runny.  If water forms at the bottom of the bowl, pour off. 

TIP:  To save salad from sitting in a pool of juice/water place a saucer or sauce dish or appropriate size dish upside down in the bottom of the salad bowl before adding cheese and fruit.  The excess moisture will collect below the inverted dish and keep your salad fresh.

HEATH BAR TORTE

CRUST
1 pkg. 1/4 lb. Graham crackers, crushed
1/4 lb. (1 stick) Margarine or butter, melted

MIDDLE LAYER
5 Egg whites
1/2 tsp. Cream of tartar
1 cup + 2 Tbl. Granulated sugar

TOP LAYER
1 (9 oz.) tub Cool whip topping
5 (divided) Heath candy bars, (crushed but not fine) (if frozen first, they crush better)

Mix cracker crumbs and margarine and spread across the bottom of an ungreased 9×13″ pan, patting down to form bottom crust.

Beat egg whites until foamy and add cream of tartar.  Slowly add the sugar while continuing to beat until they hold stiff peaks.

Place on top of crust and bake at 350? for 1 hour.

The torte can be frozen at this point for future use.

Combine 3 Heath bars (crushed) with the Cool whip. Place on top of meringue layer. 

Sprinkle the remaining 2 crushed Heath bars on top.

Allow to mellow at least overnight.  The top layer softens the middle layer and it is a wonderful torte, both visually and is tasty to eat.  This has been a family favorite for many years.
