Torre de crudités

Wash hands.Wash all fresh, unpackaged produce under running water. Drain well.

1. Slice the queso fresco into ½ oz. pieces on an electric slicer. Leave it just thick enough so it will not break when picking up the slices. Slice the tomatoes into 1⅓ oz. slices on an electric slicer.

2. Score the outside of the cucumbers with a channel knife. Slice widthwise into 4”-long pieces. Slice lengthwise into 1½”-wide pieces. The slices should weigh about 1 1/3 oz. each.
