Tip
Ingredients
150g strawberries, hulled

75g cucumber

20 basil leaves

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

16 ready-made cocktail blinis

75g soft cheese

Method
  1. To make the salsa: dice the strawberries and place in a mixing bowl. Halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds down the middle, then finely dice and mix with the strawberries.

     

  2. Take 4 large basil leaves, roughly shred and place in a small bowl with the olive oil. Press the basil into the oil with the back of a spoon to release the flavour. Stir in a little salt and pepper then combine with the strawberries. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to mix.

  3. Warm the blinis according to the pack instructions and cool slightly. Spread with the soft cheese, add a basil leaf and top with the salsa, then serve immediately.
