President and CEO, Carl Mastronardi, has been a grower using hydroponics for over 35 years. His company Del Fresco Pure has greenhouses in Ontario that grow a wide range of produce including cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, beans and eggplants. We thought it would be great to get them to share one of their recipes with us that could include some of their products.
The combination of Del Fresco Pure Crunchers mini cucumbers with sweet strawberries and tangy feta cheese makes a great appetizer for your next gathering. These mini boats are refreshing and a great crowd pleaser.
