This dish was a beautiful first course, but you could make this for two with a salad for dinner, or an appetizer for 4 people (just double the portions of it’s more people. You could also serve these with fresh cucumber slices, toasted gluten free crostini or even good kettle cooked potato chips would be delicious!
