Fresh and tangy!
The basil in this salsa gently lifts the sweetness of the strawberries and makes the whole thing taste even brighter.

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.
-
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.

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.
