Caprese Fruit Salad #SundaySupper

August 30, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you our favorite Labor Day recipe.  But not only are you getting some amazing, fun recipes, but we are sharing with you our party tips to help make your Labor Day event, easy and run smoothly.

Caprese Fruit Salad #SundaySupper

For my recipe today, I took one of my favorite all-time favorite salads and changed it up just a bit just so I can use up and enjoy the last of the summer berries.  My recipe is for a Caprese Fruit Salad.  It’s light, refreshing and a nice dish to accompany anything you are serving at your Labor Day party.  The salad is chock full of fresh tomatoes, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and freshly cut basil and topped off with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.  It’s truly one of my favorites.  I could eat this every day.

One thing about this salad is that it is very forgiving. You can add as much fruit as you would like.  If you like lots of strawberries, add them.  Not a fan of blackberries?  Skip them.  It’s whatever you enjoy.  I personally love the combination of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on top with the balsamic glaze.  If you don’t have balsamic glaze, just drizzle some balsamic salad dressing over the top.

I paired my salad with Gallo Family Vineyards Sweet White Blend Wine.  It’s the perfect companion to my recipe.  It’s light, crisp and slightly sweet.  The wine has a nice peach flavor with hints of tropical fruit and honeydew flavors.  It’s perfect for a summer party.

Another wine that I thought would go great with my salad is Gallo Family Vineyards Café Zinfandel.  Café Zinfandel is a light bodied when that is slightly sweet and sparkles with strawberry, raspberry and watermelon flavors.

For my party tips:

  • Plan your menu ahead of time, will you have a theme?
  • Grocery shop at least two days before the party.
  • Prep your fruits and vegetables the night before.  Cutting them all up makes for easy preparation the next day.
  • Make a CD with your favorite music.
  • Make sure you have plenty of chairs to sit in.
  • Marinate any meat you plan on serving the night before.
  • Make easy meals, so you can spend time with friends and family and not spend it in the kitchen.
  • Make your party Pot Luck, so everyone can share their favorite dishes.
  • Have coolers out with your wine set up in it.  Make sure you have a cork screw in reach and plenty of wine glasses.
  • Use plastic glasses if you’re having a party outside.  You don’t want someone to drop a glass on the patio.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
