Ingredients

1/2 pineapple, chopped
1/2 zucchini, chopped
6 slices of baguette, toasted in a skillet with olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp basil, chopped
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!
