Description
Bite-Sized Bliss Amuse – A perfectly crisp toasted crostini serves as the base for a silky-smooth hummus, offering a rich and nutty contrast. Delicately carved cucumber adds a refreshing crunch, while a drizzle of orange reduction lends a subtle citrusy sweetness. Jewel-like pomegranate seeds provide a burst of tartness, complementing the dish with a pop of color and flavor. A fresh mint leaf crowns the bite, infusing a cool, aromatic finish. This harmonious combination delivers layers of texture and taste in a single, elegant bite.
