Last week, just before we were heading out of town for our yearly trip to San Diego Comic-Con, we had an impromptu game night with our family and some friends. Having snacks for a game night is an absolute must and depending on my ambition, energy level, and what’s in our kitchen, it can be anything from an easy dip to tortilla pinwheels.

Since I had slacked off on grocery shopping before our big trip (didn’t want anything to spoil while we were gone), I was lacking the ingredients for those types of things. But one thing I did have was some Triscuit crackers.

The perfectly square shape of Triscuit crackers are perfect to build on, so I was sure I could figure out something and make them my secret game night weapon.

Cooking Equipment Needed for Strawberry Ricotta Bites:

Since we were leaving on our trip, I took a look through our refrigerator to see if I had anything else that needed to used up. The strawberries and mixed greens immediately caught my eye and inspiration hit! I decided to make what I call Strawberry Ricotta Bites.

When I tell you how easy these are made, you are going to understand how valuable a box of Triscuit crackers in the pantry can be. You can seriously pulled this snack together in about 20 minutes — maybe even less.

It starts with dicing about 8 ounces of fresh summer strawberries and placing them in a bowl.

Balsamic vinegar and a bit of sugar is added to the strawberries and then they are set aside. While the strawberries are macerating, lay out your Triscuit crackers on a serving tray.

To assemble your Strawberry Ricotta Bites, you’ll top the Triscuit with a spread of ricotta, then a bit of field greens (I used smaller pieces, but you can tear larger one to allow them to fit), and then a small spoonful of the strawberries.

To finish them off, I gave a light sprinkle of some finely chopped almonds. Here’s a secret for those: I chopped almonds that were already sliced, which made it super easy to get them into small pieces.

And, just like that, your snack is ready to serve!
