How to Prepare a Cheese Bowl
These Greek cheese bowls are perfect for a quick and easy lunch. You can chop bell peppers, cucumbers and olives up to three days before serving. Store them in one container and the mozzarella and dill in another. Wait to cut the tomatoes until just before eating them so they don’t get soggy.
