Save cooking time by preparing this appetizer on a large microwave-safe serving platter and microwaving on HIGH for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Great Pairings
Black Bean & Corn Salad
You can save money by using olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of the bottled Italian vinaigrette dressing called for in the recipe. Use 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil for the best flavor.
