Tulip Toasts
April showers bring May flowers, and this May we’ve got tulip toasts made of fresh
berries sprouting up.
While upon first glance this may seem like an odd combo of fruits and veggies to
share a slice of toast- we promise you that the drizzle of raw honey and California
Olive Ranch Arbosana do an excellent job of tying everything together. The end
result? A toast you can bite into wit ha slight crunch, a layer of creamy cream
cheese and bright, sweet and fresh toppings that’ll make your taste buds feel as
happy as the sight of them does .
