Try this original Veggie's Cube Appetizer ... fresh, sweet and cute !!

It is Summer and it is very very hot in Connecticut ... I can't even imagine turning the oven on !

I have friends coming at home tonight and want to do a fresh Appetizer before the dinner.

I just remember an interesting appetizer I saw recently in a magazine  : a Veggie's Cube with fresh white Cheese, Water Melon and Cucumber ... let's give it a try NOW !!

It is so easy !!!! All you need is a sharped knife and a little bit of precision when you cut the veggies to make sure they all have the same size (almost the same size) ... and that's it !

Et voila !!

The most important is the COLOR ! I wanted to use Cantaloupe but couldn't find a good one, so I used Watermelon, Cucumber, Feta & Mozzarella.

I cut the Cucumber in cubes ...

I cut the fresh Feta in cubes :

Now the Watermelon:

And finally the Mozzarella. I tossed the Mozza cubes in a mix of Herbs (Basil, Mint, Parsley) with Olive Oil :

To finish, I assembled all ingredients like a Rubisk's Cube .... and place your creation into the fridge !

Et voila, bon appetit!
