I love the taste and texture of a good Chevre…..now add fresh, chilled cucumber and cherry tomatoes and you can enjoy a wonderful flavour explosion.

 

• 8 oz. chevre
• pinch of finely chopped chives and parsley
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• salt and pepper to taste (a pinch each is great)
• 2 English cucumbers
• 1 dozen cherry tomatoes
• 1/3 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
• 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp. avocado oil (great for your heart and arteries)

Slice the cucumbers into 1/2 inch medallions and scoop the seeds from the centre. Slice the tomatoes in 4 lengthwise and combine with the oil and vinegar mixture.

Place a small ball of the chevre in the centre of each medallion and top with a tomato piece and basil.

Tasty and another terrific way to start off the party; add a signature drink, some good friends and the evening begins. I always try to have a hot and cold starter.

You pick, your choice….
