Spicy Summer Salad

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 pineapple, chopped
• 1/2 zucchini, chopped
• 6 slices of baguette, toasted in a skillet with olive oil
• salt to taste
• 1 tsp basil
• 1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce
• 3 tbs honey
• 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup queso fresco

Recipe

• In a mixing bowl, mix the zucchini, pineapple, salt and basil in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the hot sauce, honey and apple cider vinegar to make the hot honey sauce.
• To toast the baguette, cut the baguette into 1 /2 inch wide slices. Put a little olive oil in a skillet on medium heat and cook both sides of the baguette, flipping after a couple minutes so the sides are light brown, but not burnt.
• Arrange your toasted baguette slices on a plate.
• Begin spooning the pineapple and zucchini mixture on top of the baguette.
• Drizzle the hot honey over each piece.
• Sprinkle each piece with queso fresco.
• Enjoy!
