As the summertime weather heats up, we here at igourmet.com find this to be a great time to enjoy some lighter fare and take advantage of summer’s wealth of produce by preparing some composed salads. With this in mind, we’ve created a collection of our favorite salad toppers—although each is good enough to eat straight out of the jar! They’re also perfect for keeping on hand when unexpected guests stop by and you’re in need of a quick antipasto platter for snacks.
 | Peppadew Peppers
The first truly new and unique fruit to be discovered since the kiwi in the 1970's, Peppadew is not only rich in flavor but also has great nutritional benefits. Whole sweet piquante peppers from South Africa's northern provinces are blended with a secret recipe that makes every juicy mouthful simply unforgettable. Quite unlike anything we've ever eaten, this unusually tasty treat is delicious served with almost anything. We especially love it with a simple goat cheese salad. |
 | Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmas)
Dolmas are the centerpiece of the Greek mezé tradition. A mezé is an assortment of Greek appetizers, similar to an Italian antipasto. Enjoy these soft and tender grape leaves which are filled with rice and seasoned with sweet onions, fresh dill and mint. They are great atop Greek salad, too. Serve at room temperature straight out of the tin! |
 | Kardoula Peppers Stuffed with Feta
These distinctive peppers are grown only in central Greece on the Thessaly plains. Called Kardoula, which means "little heart", these peppers have a mildly spicy flavor that is an excellent match with the cool, creamy taste of classic Greek Feta cheese. Savor the ultimate Greek indulgence!

 | Mixed Greek Olives
Olives evoke all the mystery, beauty and legends of the ancient sun-drenched groves from whence they come - the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. This area has a classical culinary heritage inspired by an olive culture over 5,000 years old. The food traditions that sprang from the warm, fragrant fields and sunny hillside villages of the Mediterranean have been inspiring chefs for centuries. This olive mix is a delightful medley of textures and flavors, from sharp and meaty to voluptuously soft and fruity. A visually appealing blend of prized varieties that is an irresistible appetizer, especially with a hunk of your favorite Feta.
