It is excellent layered into sandwiches with your favorite bread, condiments, and vegetables. For a lighter option, chop it and add it to green salads or pasta salads. It also works well as a component of a charcuterie or cheese board, offering a smoky counterpoint to other items. It can be warmed slightly if desired, but is designed to be eaten cold.
