Print Recipe

A quick, fresh, and simple no-cook snack plate featuring fresh mozzarella or ricotta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, basil, and crackers. Perfect for a solo summer treat with minimal prep and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella ball or whipped ricotta
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 medium cucumber (about 100 g), sliced into rounds or sticks
  • 8–10 fresh basil leaves
  • A handful (about 30 g) of crackers
  • Optional: 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Optional: Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Optional: Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Halve the tomatoes and slice the cucumber into rounds or sticks.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with half of the torn basil leaves, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a drizzle (about 1 tsp) of extra-virgin olive oil if desired.
  3. Place the mozzarella or dollops of ricotta on one side of a serving plate.
  4. Arrange the cucumber slices neatly next to the cheese.
  5. Spoon the tomato and basil mixture beside the cucumber.
  6. Add crackers on the remaining space in a small stack or fan shape.
  7. Scatter the remaining basil leaves on top for garnish.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the plate.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe ingredients for best flavor. Toss tomatoes with basil and salt no more than 10 minutes before serving to keep crackers crunchy. Serve chilled or at room temperature. For dairy-free, substitute cheese with plant-based alternatives. Crackers can be swapped for veggie sticks for gluten-free or low-carb options. Prep veggies and tomato mixture up to an hour ahead and keep refrigerated.
