I love Mediterranean food and fruit with cheese and cold meats is such a lovely combination! So summery and also, for the likes of me, so simple to create at home whilst still being impressive both aesthetically and to taste! I have a simply divine sounding recipe which is jsut perfect for a balmy summer night and hopefully we will be having a few of those soon! I can just imagine eating this on the decking with a glass of crisp white wine and the warm sun on my face as it starts to go down… I talk a good summer don’t I, let’s just hope it hears me and pops along to say hi! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
