Chef notes
- Use a firm English cucumber for crisp, sturdy bites. - Choose a creamy blue cheese for a smoother texture and balanced flavor. - Use fresh, firm blackberries so they stay neatly on top. - Cut the cucumber and cheese into similar-sized pieces for an attractive presentation. - Assemble just before serving for the best freshness and texture. - Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. - For a milder flavor, substitute Gorgonzola Dolce for a stronger blue cheese.
