1 large seedless cucumber
5 ounces garlic and herb cheese spread, like Boursin softened to room temperature
18-20 fresh basil leaves
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
flaky sea salt for garnish

Trim the ends off of the cucumber. Peel the cucumber in alternating stripes, if desired. Slice the cucumber into ½ inch slices. (One large seedless cucumber should yield about 18-20 slices). Set aside.
