Marissa's MediterraneanSweet, creamy, and totally vibrant! These little bites feature cooling labneh and honey-kissed figs on a crunchy cucumber base.
Slice the English cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the topping stays put.
Drying the cucumber slices is the key to preventing a slippery appetizer!
In a small bowl, whisk the honey with a tiny splash of warm water to make it easier to drizzle. Quarter your fresh figs.
Place the cucumber rounds on a serving platter. Dollop about a tablespoon of creamy labneh onto each slice.
You can use a piping bag for a fancier look if you're feeling extra!
Top each labneh dollop with a fig quarter, then drizzle the honey over the top.
Finish by sprinkling the crushed pistachios, lemon zest, and fresh mint over the platter. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp!
Chef's secret: If you can't find fresh figs, dried ones soaked in warm water for 10 minutes work in a pinch! Also, don't be shy with the lemon zest—it really cuts through the richness of the labneh. Healthy made easy, right?
