Summertime Raclette

Summer is finally here! Does that mean that we have to put the raclette grill away? The answer is NO! While it is true that Raclette is typically associated with winter and snow, Raclette can be great instead of doing a BBQ!

Offer a mixed salad with a light vinaigrette dressing, cut tomatoes, red and yellow pepper, mushrooms, and onions for the grill, and melt Swiss Raclette Cheese. When you get your hands on some new potatoes, use those, otherwise you might just want to offer a fresh baked french baguette; pair with a light, crisp white wine (Pinot Grigio works great), and you have your perfect summer meal on the patio or deck.

You can get the Swiss raclette cheese here: www.raclettecorner.com/cheese
