Savory Snack Wraps
These tasty wraps are a great appetizer for your Sabbat menu, or they can work just as well for a light meal. Make with your leftover chicken, or go for a vegetarian option instead.

Fresh Fruit Fennel Salad
Fennel has a rich, licorice-like flavor, and lends itself well to a cool summer salad. Add a bit of fruit to offset the savoriness of the fennel, top with a light mustard viniagrette, and you've got the perfect salad to serve as a side or main course.
